4. Transactions.
4.1 Requests for Transactions.
(a) Transaction Notices. Seller may, from time to time during the Facility Term, deliver a written notice, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and including a fully-completed proposed Portfolio Schedule (a “Transaction Notice”) to Agent requesting that Buyers enter into a Transaction on a Monthly Date (or, if Seller elects to terminate a Transaction pursuant to Paragraph 3(c)(ii) of Annex I to the Master Repurchase Agreement, on the effective date of such termination). Such notice shall be delivered to Agent not less than four (4) Business Days prior to the proposed Purchase Date for such proposed Transaction (or such later date as may be consented to by Agent, which consent may be conditioned on the consent of the Buyers). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the other Transaction Agreements, each Buyer agrees severally, and not jointly, to enter into such Transactions with Seller up to its respective Individual Commitment Amount as of the applicable Purchase Date.
(b) Confirmation Process. Within one (1) Business Day of its receipt of a Transaction Notice, Agent shall deliver a fully completed draft Confirmation with respect to the proposed Transaction, attaching the related proposed Portfolio Schedule provided by Seller pursuant to Section 4.1(a). In the event Seller and Agent disagree with respect to any portion of the draft Confirmation or the proposed Portfolio Schedule or in the event Agent determines in good faith that any applicable Transaction Conditions are not, or will not be, satisfied as of the relevant Purchase Date, Seller or Agent (as applicable) shall promptly notify the other of the same, and Seller and Agent shall cooperate expeditiously and in good faith to resolve any such matters (to the extent the same are capable of being resolved). If the applicable Transaction Conditions are (or will be) satisfied as of the applicable Purchase Date, then Agent shall, on behalf of the Buyers and subject to the provisions of Section 4.5, enter into the proposed Transaction with Seller on the terms set forth in the draft Confirmation (as may be modified as agreed between Seller and Agent in accordance with the preceding sentence) by executing and delivering to Seller, on behalf of each such Buyer, a Confirmation evidencing such Transaction in accordance with the Master Repurchase Agreement.
4
(c) Failed Closings. If, on any proposed Purchase Date, the entry into a proposed Transaction on such date would otherwise fail to occur due to:
(i) any failure of Seller and Agent to agree on the Confirmation or the Portfolio Schedule for such proposed Transaction in accordance with the foregoing Section 4.1(b) on or before such proposed Purchase Date;
(ii) any failure as of such proposed Purchase Date of any applicable Transaction Condition to be satisfied with respect to such proposed Transaction;
(iii) any unforeseen circumstance or event, such as a disruption in wire transfers, power or other mechanical or technological failures or interruptions, computer viruses, communications disruptions, work stoppages, natural disasters, fire, war, terrorism, riots, rebellions, or any circumstance beyond the control of the parties; or
(iv) any other reason (other than the failure of a Deemed Roll-Over Condition to be satisfied);
then, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any Transaction Agreement,
(x) if the proposed Purchase Date is not a Monthly Date and any Current Transaction was specified for early termination on such proposed Purchase Date pursuant to Paragraph 3(c)(ii) of Annex I to the Master Repurchase Agreement, then notwithstanding such specification, such Current Transaction shall continue without termination on such proposed Purchase Date and no new Transaction shall be entered into on such proposed Purchase Date, and
(y) if the proposed Purchase Date is a Monthly Date, then so long as the Deemed Roll-Over Conditions are satisfied as of such Monthly Date, and notwithstanding the failure of any Additional Funding Condition or Roll-Over Condition (which condition, in each case, is not also a Deemed Roll-Over Condition) to be satisfied as of such Monthly Date, Seller and Buyers shall be deemed to have entered into a new Roll-Over Transaction (a “Deemed Roll-Over Transaction”) on such Monthly Date in accordance with Section 4.1(d) below.
(d) Deemed Roll-Over Transactions. In the event the Parties are deemed to have entered into a Deemed Roll-Over Transaction on any Monthly Date pursuant to the foregoing Section 4.1(c), such Deemed Roll-Over Transaction shall be deemed to be entered into on the same terms as those set forth in the final form of Confirmation (including the Portfolio Schedule thereto) governing the Transaction expiring on such Monthly Date, subject to the following modifications:
(A) the Purchase Date shall be the applicable Monthly Date on which such Deemed Roll-Over Transaction is deemed to have been entered into, and the applicable Pricing Rate shall be updated accordingly;
(B) the Repurchase Date shall be the earlier of the Facility Expiration Date or the next applicable Monthly Date following the Purchase Date;
5
(C) the Portfolio Schedule applicable to the Deemed Roll-Over Transaction shall be: (i) in the event Seller has delivered to Agent a Portfolio Schedule by such Purchase Date designated for use in connection with entry into a Transaction on such Purchase Date and which satisfies clauses (vi) through (ix) of Section 4.3(a), such delivered Portfolio Schedule; and (ii) otherwise, the Portfolio Schedule for the prior Transaction expiring on such Monthly Date (the Portfolio Schedule described in this clause (ii), a “Roll-Over Portfolio Schedule”);
(D) if the Purchase Price set forth in the Confirmation for the expiring Transaction exceeds the Aggregate Commitment Amount applicable to such Deemed Roll-Over Transaction, the Purchase Price for such Deemed Roll-Over Transaction shall be reduced so as to be equal to such applicable Aggregate Commitment Amount, and Seller shall pay to Agent for the account of the Buyers any Funded Repurchase Price required to be paid by it as a result of such reduction; and
(E) in addition to any Funded Repurchase Price required to be paid by Seller on such Monthly Date in accordance with the terms hereof, Seller may, at its election, pay to Agent for the account of the Buyers an additional amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of Agent specified in Schedule 2 by or before 5:00 p.m. on such Monthly Date, which additional payment shall (i) reduce the Purchase Price for such Deemed Roll-Over Transaction and (ii) be treated as the payment of additional Funded Repurchase Price for all purposes hereunder and under the other Transaction Agreements; provided, that the Price Differential through the first two (2) Business Days of the Transaction Period for such Deemed Roll-Over Transaction shall be calculated as though the corresponding reduction of Purchase Price did not occur.
Promptly after entry into any Deemed Roll-Over Transaction, Seller and Agent shall cooperate expeditiously and in good faith to prepare, execute and deliver a Confirmation and Portfolio Schedule which, if treated as having been delivered in a timely manner in connection with a proposed Roll-Over Transaction to be entered into on the Purchase Date for such Deemed Roll-Over Transaction, would satisfy the applicable Roll-Over Conditions (excluding the condition described in Section 4.3(a)(iii), which need not be satisfied for purposes of this paragraph) as of such Purchase Date, to evidence and definitively document such Deemed Roll-Over Transaction, with the terms of such Confirmation, and if applicable, updated Portfolio Schedule, amending, restating and superseding any deemed terms specified in the preceding sentence as of the applicable Purchase Date, notwithstanding such later execution and delivery of such definitive documentation.
4.2 Funding of Transaction Purchase Prices.
(a) Funding Notices. In the event Agent receives a Transaction Notice for a proposed Transaction in accordance with Section 4.1(a), Agent shall deliver to each other Buyer a written notice concerning such Transaction (a “Funding Notice”) not later than 10:00 a.m. on the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Transaction. Such notice shall (i) set forth the Purchase Date for the proposed Transaction, the amount of any Funded Purchase Price anticipated to be paid or Funded Repurchase Price anticipated to be received in connection with such Transaction, any Funding Amount payable by or Distribution Amount anticipated to be
6
distributed to each Buyer in connection with the Transaction, any adjustments and related calculations made pursuant to Section 4.5 and the anticipated Aggregate Buyer Balance after giving effect to such Transaction, and (ii) be accompanied by a copy of the substantially final form of Confirmation to be entered into in connection with such Transaction.
(b) Funding of Purchase Prices. Following receipt of any Funding Notice concerning a proposed Transaction, each Buyer shall fund its respective Funding Amount (if any) for such proposed Transaction by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of Agent specified in Schedule 2 no later than 11:00 a.m. on the Purchase Date for such Transaction (or such later time as Agent may determine with the consent of Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld so long as the Funded Purchase Price is received for value on such Purchase Date)). Agent shall, subject to satisfaction of the Additional Funding Conditions, use such funds to pay the Funded Purchase Price for the Transaction on behalf of each of the Buyers in accordance with terms of the Master Repurchase Agreement and applicable Confirmation, upon which Seller will sell and assign, and Buyers will purchase, the Transaction Portfolio for such Transaction, with each Buyer receiving a fractional undivided interest in such Transaction Portfolio in accordance with its respective Undivided Funding Percentage as of the time of such purchase (after giving effect to the funding of such Payment Amounts and payment of such Funded Purchase Price). The closing of such Transaction and payment of such Funded Purchase Price shall occur at 12:00 noon on the Purchase Date (or such later time on such Purchase Date as Agent may determine with the consent of Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld for so long as the Funded Purchase Price is received for value on such Purchase Date)).
(c) Advance Payment of Funded Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.2(b) above, Agent may, at its sole discretion, on any Purchase Date for a Transaction in respect of which it anticipates receiving Funding Amounts from Buyers, transfer in advance any Funded Purchase Price anticipated to be payable in respect of such Transaction to Seller on such Purchase Date prior to Agent’s actual receipt of such Funding Amounts; provided, that if Agent does not receive all such Funding Amounts from Buyers by or before 5:00 p.m. on such Purchase Date, then subject to and in accordance with Section 4.5(a)(iii), Seller and each applicable Defaulting Buyer severally agree to pay to Agent forthwith on demand the amount of Funded Purchase Price transferred in advance corresponding to the Funding Amounts not received, with interest thereon at a rate reasonably determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(d) Return of Excess Funding Amounts. In the event any Buyer has funded its respective Funding Amount on any proposed Purchase Date for an Additional Funding Transaction in accordance with Section 4.2(b), and either (i) Seller and Buyers fail to enter into such Additional Funding Transaction on such proposed Purchase Date or (ii) Seller and Buyers enter into an Additional Funding Transaction on such Purchase Date with respect to which less than all of the amount funded by such Buyer is actually applied to the payment of Funded Purchase Price on such Purchase Date, then Agent shall, promptly following either such event, refund to such Buyer the unused portion of such funded amount.

4.5 Defaulting Buyers.
(a) Adjustment for Reduced Funding. Notwithstanding anything in this Article IV to the contrary, in the event that, on any Purchase Date on which Agent has entered into, or is obligated to enter into, an Additional Funding Transaction with respect to which any Funded Purchase Price is to be paid in accordance with Section 4.2(b), one or more Buyers (any such Buyer, a “Defaulting Buyer”) fails to fund its respective Funding Amount on such Purchase Date when and as required by Section 4.2(b), then Agent shall promptly give notice of such failure to Seller and each other Buyer. Upon Agent’s giving of such notice:
(i) the Confirmation for such Additional Funding Transaction shall be amended (or, if already executed and delivered by Seller prior to Agent’s giving of such notice, shall be deemed to have been amended) so as to reduce the Purchase Price for such Additional Funding Transaction by the applicable Funding Amounts such Defaulting Buyers have failed to fund;
(ii) when and as required pursuant to Section 4.2(b), and subject to the satisfaction of the Additional Funding Conditions otherwise applicable to such Additional Funding Transaction, Agent shall pay to Seller, on behalf of the Buyers (other than the Defaulting Buyer), any remaining unpaid Funded Purchase Price payable in respect of such Additional Funding Transaction (after giving effect to the reduction in Purchase Price pursuant to the foregoing Section 4.5(a)(i));
10
(iii) to the extent Agent has advanced any amounts to Seller pursuant to Section 4.2(c) on such Purchase Date in excess of the Funded Purchase Price payable in respect of such Additional Funding Transaction (after giving effect to the reduction in Purchase Price pursuant to the foregoing Section 4.5(a)(i)), Seller shall refund any such excess when and as required pursuant to Section accordance with Section 4.2(c);
(iv) following such Purchase Date, Seller shall be entitled to exercise its rights under Paragraph 4(b) of Annex I to the Master Repurchase Agreement to address the excess Market Value of the Transaction Portfolio which may result from the failure of such Defaulting Buyer to fund.
(b) Replacement of Buyers. Seller may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to any Defaulting Buyer and Agent, require such Defaulting Buyer to assign, without recourse, all of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Agreements (including its Individual Buyer Balance, Individual Commitment Amount and any undivided fractional interest it may own with respect to any Transaction Portfolio) to one or more existing Buyers or new Buyers that is willing to assume such obligations; provided that (i) Seller shall have received the prior written consent of Agent with respect to any new Buyer, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Defaulting Buyer shall have received payment of an amount equal to its Individual Buyer Balance and accrued and unpaid Price Differential, fees and all other amounts payable to it under the Transaction Agreements (which may be paid by the applicable assignee and/or by Seller) and (iii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law. No Buyer shall be required to make any such assignment if prior thereto, such Buyer shall have ceased to be a Defaulting Buyer in accordance with Section 4.5(c). Each Party agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this Section 4.5(b) may be effected pursuant to assignment documentation executed by Seller, Agent and the assignee and that the Defaulting Buyer required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto. In connection with any such assignment, each assignee of the Defaulting Buyer agrees to purchase (at par) Individual Buyer Balances of other non-Defaulting Buyers (together with corresponding portions of such other non-Defaulting Buyers’ undivided fractional interests in any Transaction Portfolio) as Agent may determine necessary to cause each non-Defaulting Buyer’s Undivided Funding Percentage in connection with the applicable Current Transaction to equal its Undivided Commitment Percentage with respect to such Current Transaction (in each case, after giving effect to such assignment and with such adjustments as Agent may deem appropriate to take into account any Buyers that remain Defaulting Buyers).
(c) Reinstatement of Defaulting Buyers. In the event that Agent and Seller agree that a Defaulting Buyer has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Buyer to be a Defaulting Buyer, then such Buyer shall cease to be a Defaulting Buyer for all purposes hereof. In connection with any such reinstatement of a Defaulting Buyer, such Defaulting Buyer agrees to purchase (at par) Individual Buyer Balances of other non-Defaulting Buyers as Agent may determine necessary to cause each non-Defaulting Buyer’s Undivided Funding Percentage in connection with the applicable Current Transaction to equal its Undivided Commitment Percentage with respect to such Current Transaction (in each case, after giving effect to such reinstatement and with such adjustments as Agent may deem appropriate to take into account any Buyers that remain Defaulting Buyers).
11
(d) Replacement of Agent. In the event that Agent or any Affiliate thereof is a Defaulting Buyer, Buyers having more than 50% of the aggregate amount of Individual Commitment Amounts of all Buyers (excluding all Individual Commitment Amounts or Individual Buyer Balances of any Defaulting Buyer) may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to Seller and Agent, remove Agent in its capacity as such, and subject to Seller’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld), appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the removed Agent and the removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Agreements. The fees payable by Seller to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Seller and such successor. Removed Agent agrees to execute such additional documents and perform such further acts as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out or perform the foregoing provisions of this Section; provided that, to the extent removed Agent fails to promptly execute such additional documents and or to perform such further acts, successor Agent may, on behalf of removed Agent, execute such additional documents or perform such further acts.
(e) Calculations. All calculations with respect to adjustments in the Undivided Commitment Percentages and Undivided Funding Percentages of, Funding Amounts owed by, or Distribution Amounts payable to, any Buyers resulting from any Buyer becoming a Defaulting Buyer or any actions taken by Agent pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall be made by Agent and communicated to Buyers in appropriate Funding Notices or other written notices (in all cases, with copies to Seller).
5. Representations and Warranties; Certain Covenants.
5.1 Representations and Warranties of Seller. Seller represents to Agent and each Buyer that:
(a) Organization and Authority. Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the Laws of the state of Iowa. Seller has full corporate power and authority to enter into the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party, to carry out its obligations thereunder, and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. The execution and delivery by Seller of the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party and the performance by Seller of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of Seller. The Transaction Agreements to which Seller is a party have been duly executed and delivered by Seller, and (assuming due authorization, execution, and delivery by each other Party) the Transaction Agreements to which Seller is a party constitute a legal, valid, and binding obligation of Seller enforceable against Seller in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity.
(b) No Conflicts; Consents. The execution, delivery and performance by Seller of each of the Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements do not and will not: (A) conflict with or result in a violation or breach of, or default under, any provision of the Organizational Documents of Seller; (B) conflict with or
12
result in a violation or breach of any provision of any Law or Governmental Order applicable to Seller except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or (C) require the consent, notice or other action by any Person pursuant to, or result in a default or event of default under, any Contract to which Seller is a party, except: (1) as expressly set forth in the applicable Transaction Agreement, (2) as shall have been obtained by Seller as of the Effective Date or (3) as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No consent, approval, Permit, Governmental Order, declaration or filing with, or notice to, any Governmental Authority is required by or with respect to Seller in connection with the execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements except as shall have been obtained by Seller or except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(c) Legal Proceedings. There are no Actions pending or, to Seller’s knowledge, threatened against or by Seller or any Affiliate of Seller that challenge or seek to prevent, enjoin, or otherwise delay the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements.
(d) Compliance with Laws. Seller is in compliance with all applicable Laws in connection with the performance of obligations or exercise of rights under the Transaction Agreements, except where the failure to be so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(e) No Defaults. No Event of Default under this Framework Agreement has occurred and is continuing that has not been waived. Except as disclosed to Agent, no Potential Event of Default under this Framework Agreement has occurred and is continuing that has not been waived.
5.2 Asset Representations and Warranties. Seller represents or covenants, as applicable, to Agent and each Buyer with respect to each Eligible Xxxxxx Loan included in the Transaction Portfolio for any outstanding Transaction that:
(a) Accuracy of Information. The information regarding such Eligible Xxxxxx Loan set forth on the Portfolio Schedule to the Confirmation for such Transaction (as corrected in accordance with Section 4.1(d), in the case of any Deemed Roll-Over Transaction) is true and correct in all material respects as of the Purchase Date for such Transaction.
(b) Form of Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement for such Eligible Xxxxxx Loan is substantially in the form of one of the Deferred Payment Loan Agreements attached to Schedule 3 hereto or any other form of Loan Agreement provided to and deemed satisfactory by Agent.
(c) Enforceability. Such Eligible Xxxxxx Loan and related Loan Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all parties thereto, and constitutes a legal, valid, and binding obligation of each such party enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity.

(c) Indemnification. Seller will indemnify and keep indemnified Agent, each Buyer, their Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents and their successors and assigns (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against any cost, claim, loss, expense, liability or damages (including reasonable legal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any Person (other than by Seller, any of its Affiliates or any Indemnified Party) against such Indemnified Party (each a “Claim”) and incurred or suffered by it in connection with:
(i) any representation or warranty made by Seller under or in connection with any Transaction Agreement (including with respect to any Portfolio Schedule delivered by Seller pursuant hereto) that shall have been false or incorrect when made or deemed made (without regard to any knowledge, materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifiers contained therein);
(ii) the failure by Seller, to comply with any applicable Law with respect to any Eligible Xxxxxx Loan included in any Transaction Portfolio, or the nonconformity of any such Eligible Xxxxxx Loan included therein or any related Contract with any such applicable Law, rule or regulation or any failure of Seller to keep or perform any of its obligations, express or implied, with respect to any Contract;

16
Eligible Xxxxxx Loans with any of its officers, and Seller shall be obligated to reimburse Agent for the costs and expenses of one such examination during the Facility Term.

(h) Ordinary Course. Seller shall follow its credit and collection procedures with respect to the Eligible Xxxxxx Loans in accordance with its ordinary course of dealing as in effect from time to time without regard to the Transactions contemplated hereby, and shall use the same standards it would follow with respect to Eligible Xxxxxx Loans which are owned by Seller.

(j) Changes in Credit and Collection Procedures. Seller shall provide Agent with prompt notice, and in all instances at least sixty (60) days prior to the effectiveness of any material change in or material amendment to the credit and collection procedures (other than any such change or amendment required by applicable Law, in which case Seller shall provide notice to Agent of such change or amendment as promptly as practicable), a copy of the credit and collection procedures then in effect and a notice indicating such proposed change or amendment.
(k) Information Required by Governmental Authorities. Subject to applicable Laws prohibiting or limiting such disclosure or provision of such information, documents, records or reports, Seller shall provide each Buyer promptly, from time to time upon request, such information, documents, records or reports relating to the Eligible Xxxxxx Loans or Seller as such Buyer (or its assigns) may be required by a Governmental Authority to obtain; provided, that each such Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of such information, documents, records or reports to the extent consistent with applicable Law, Seller’s normal privacy and confidentiality procedures, the terms of the Data Transfer Agreement and any confidentiality provisions or restrictions contained therein.
(l) Accounting. Seller shall comply with all required accounting and Tax disclosures related to the Transactions in accordance with GAAP and applicable Law, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
17
(m) Changes Concerning Seller. Seller will not undergo a Change of Control or change its (i) jurisdiction of organization, (ii) name, (iii) identity or structure (within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC), unless it shall have notified Agent of the same and delivered to Agent all financing statement amendments and other documents necessary to maintain the perfection of the Security Interests granted by Seller under the Transaction Agreements in connection with such change, relocation or Change of Control.
(n) Compliance. Seller will not directly or indirectly use, and shall not permit its Subsidiaries and its or their respective directors, officers, employees and, to the knowledge of Seller and to the extent commercially reasonable, agents to directly or indirectly use, the proceeds of any Transaction (i) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Money Laundering Laws or Anti-Corruption Laws, (ii) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, in violation of Sanctions Laws, or (iii) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions or Sanctions Laws by any Person (including any Party hereto). Seller shall, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no funds used to pay the obligations under any Transaction Agreement (i) constitute the property of, or are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any Sanctioned Person, (ii) are derived from any transactions or business with any Sanctioned Person or Sanctioned Country, or (iii) are derived from any unlawful activity, including activity in violation of Anti-Money Laundering Laws or Anti-Corruption Laws. Seller will maintain in effect policies and procedures designed to promote compliance by Seller, its Subsidiaries, and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws.
(o) Margin Compliance During Final Two Months. On each Recalculation Date, Seller shall recalculate the aggregate Market Value of the Transaction Portfolio for the Current Transaction as of the close of business on the Business Day that is three (3) Business Days before such Recalculation Date, and based on such recalculations, shall notify Agent in writing (i) no later than the second Business Day following such Recalculation Date if the aggregate Market Value of such Transaction Portfolio decreases to an extent sufficient to result in a Margin Deficit exceeding fifty percent (50%) of the applicable threshold specified in Paragraph 4(e) of Annex I to the Master Repurchase Agreement and (ii) promptly if the aggregate Market Value of such Transaction Portfolio decreases to an extent sufficient to result in a Margin Deficit exceeding the applicable threshold specified in Paragraph 4(e) of Annex I to the Master Repurchase Agreement.
(p) Servicing Information. In the event that Agent reasonably determines, with notice to Seller, that the likelihood of an Event of Default occurring has increased by an amount that it deems material, Seller shall within ten (10) Business days following receipt of such notice, provide Agent with an updated Portfolio Schedule for the Current Transaction, which updated Portfolio Schedule shall include, for each Debtor with respect to each Eligible Xxxxxx Loan listed on the Portfolio Schedule, the name, address, phone number, email address of, and principal contact at, each such Debtor and each Portfolio Schedule delivered hereunder thereafter shall contain such additional information; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any removal by Seller of Eligible Xxxxxx Loans from the applicable Transaction Portfolio prior to or in connection with the delivery
18
of such updated Portfolio Schedule and other documents must comply with the applicable requirements of this Framework Agreement and the Master Repurchase Agreement. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Seller, upon a written request from Agent, provide to Agent (i) within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of such request with a list of all invoices provided to the Debtors under the Eligible Xxxxxx Loans comprising the Transaction Portfolio, (ii) within four weeks following receipt of such request, copies of all loan agreements with and invoices pertaining to, such Debtors and corresponding Eligible Xxxxxx Loans, which delivery shall be effected at an approximate rate of 25% of such loan agreements and invoices per week, it being understood that delivery at a faster rate in earlier weeks may result in a smaller percentage being delivered in later weeks and (iii) as promptly as practicable following receipt of such request, any other documents which may be necessary or appropriate to enforce Seller’s rights in connection with such Eligible Xxxxxx Loans.
6. Agent.
6.1 Appointment and Authority.
(a) Each of the Buyers hereby irrevocably appoints Rabobank to act on its behalf as Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Agreements and authorizes Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof or thereof (including the power to execute and deliver Confirmations on behalf of such Buyer in accordance with Sections 4.1 and 4.5 of this Framework Agreement and the Master Repurchase Agreement), together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article VI (other than the proviso to the first sentence of Section 6.5) are solely for the benefit of Agent, and neither Seller nor Guarantor shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
(b) Each of the Buyers hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Agent to act as the agent of such Buyer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Security Interests on Purchased Securities granted by Seller under the Transaction Agreements, including the filing in Agent’s name of any financing statements on behalf of Buyers, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Buyer hereby authorizes Agent to exercise any rights and remedies on its behalf hereunder or under the other Transaction Agreements in respect of such Security Interests.
(c) Agent hereby agrees that it will promptly deliver to each Buyer copies of each Confirmation and Portfolio Schedule and any notices or written information received by Agent from Seller or Guarantor in connection with any Transaction Agreement (other than the Side Letter).
6.2 Rights as a Buyer. The Person serving as Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Buyer as any other Buyer and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent and the term “Buyer” or “Buyers” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with
19
Seller, Guarantor or any of their Affiliates as if such Person were not Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Buyers.
6.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent:
(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers; and
(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein or in the other Transaction Agreements, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Seller, Guarantor or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Event of Default as such is given to Agent by Seller, Guarantor or a Buyer.
Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Framework Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Framework Agreement, any other Transaction Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Purchased Securities or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III, Section 4.3 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Agent.
6.4 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
20
6.5 Delegation of Duties. Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Transaction Agreement by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Agent; provided, that with respect to any sub-agents taking actions with respect to, or receiving information in respect of, Eligible Xxxxxx Loans that are not wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Agent and could reasonably be considered a competitor of Seller, but only insofar as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent shall have first obtained the prior written consent of Seller. Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of Agent and any such sub-agent.
6.6 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Buyers. Each Buyer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Buyer or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Framework Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements. Each Buyer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Buyer or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Framework Agreement, any other Transaction Agreement or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
6.7 Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to Seller or Guarantor, Agent shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of any amounts that are owing by Seller or Guarantor under any Transaction Agreement and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Buyers and Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Buyers, Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due to the Buyers and Agent under any Transaction Agreement) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, curator, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Buyer to make such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Buyers, to pay to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to Agent hereunder or under any Transaction Agreement.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Buyer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
21
composition affecting the obligations of Seller or Guarantor under any Transaction Agreement or the rights of any Buyer or to authorize Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Buyer in any such proceeding.
6.8 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Law, Agent may withhold from any payment to any Buyer an amount equal to any applicable withholding Tax; provided, that Agent shall ensure that the withholding does not exceed the minimum amount legally required and Agent shall pay the amount withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If the IRS or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Agent did not properly withhold Tax from any amount paid to or for the account of any Buyer for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Buyer failed to notify Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective), such Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent (to the extent that Agent has not already been reimbursed by Seller or Guarantor and without limiting or expanding the obligation of Seller or Guarantor to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties, additions to Tax or interest thereon, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, that Buyer shall not be required to indemnify Agent for penalties, addition to Tax or interest thereon, or any expenses incurred, to the extent the failure to withhold results from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Buyer by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Buyer hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Buyer under this Framework Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement against any amount due to Agent under this Article VI. The agreements in this Article VI shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Buyer, the expiration of the Facility Term and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Framework Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Buyer any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Buyer.
7. Payment To Agent; Several Obligations And Certain Calculations.
7.1 Payments to Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all amounts payable to any Buyer in connection with any Transaction shall be paid to Agent, and Agent shall distribute such payments to the Buyers in accordance with Section 4.4. As between Seller and the Buyers, any payment of such amounts to Agent shall be treated as payments to the Buyers and neither Seller nor Guarantor shall have any liability for the failure of Agent to comply with the preceding sentence.
7.2 Several Obligations. The obligations of the Buyers hereunder are several, and no Buyer shall have any obligation or liability for the failure of any other Buyer to perform its obligations hereunder.
22
7.3 Certain Calculations. Agent shall calculate the Undivided Commitment Percentages, Undivided Funding Percentages, Funded Purchase Prices, Funding Amounts, Distribution Amounts, Aggregate Commitment Amount, Aggregate Buyer Balance, Individual Commitment Amounts, Individual Buyer Balances, Breakage Amounts, the amounts of any fees payable under the Fee Letter or the Side Letter and all other amounts to be calculated under the Transaction Agreements, as well as any adjustments thereto, which calculations shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Upon the reasonable request of Seller, any Buyer or Guarantor for any such calculations, Agent shall promptly provide such calculations to such Person.
8. Confidentiality.
8.1 Duty to Preserve Confidentiality. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Receiving Party agrees, for a period of two (2) years following the termination or expiration of this Framework Agreement, to hold in confidence all Confidential Information furnished by the Disclosing Party, to not disclose any Confidential Information to any third party, and to use Confidential Information solely for purposes of the transactions contemplated by this Framework Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements; provided, that such Confidential Information may be disclosed to Representatives of such Receiving Party as reasonably necessary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Framework Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, so long as such Representatives are similarly bound by an obligation of confidentiality (including by means of applicable policies of the Receiving Party).
8.2 Permitted Disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing Section, a Receiving Party shall be permitted to disclose Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party if the Receiving Party is required by applicable Law or other legal process or requested by any Governmental Authority asserting jurisdiction over the Receiving Party or its Affiliates, or as necessary or appropriate to enforce its rights under the Transaction Agreements. Such Receiving Party agrees that in the event of any such disclosure (other than as a result of an examination by a Governmental Authority or other regulatory authority), it will notify the Disclosing Party as soon as practicable, unless such notification shall be prohibited by applicable Law. Such Receiving Party shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that, in the reasonable judgment of such Receiving Party and its Representatives, is legally required (or, in the case of request by a Governmental Authority or other regulatory authority, that portion ordinarily disclosed in accordance with the Receiving Party’s usual practice with respect to such requests) and shall disclose the Confidential Information in a manner reasonably designed to preserve its confidential nature.
8.3 Return of Confidential Information. Unless otherwise specified in writing, all Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party. Upon request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party agrees to return or destroy all Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party; provided, that (i) the Receiving Party and its Representatives may retain Confidential Information to the extent required by any applicable Law, by any supervisory or regulatory body or by its internal record retention policy, and (ii) the Receiving Party and its Representatives shall in no event be required to erase, destroy or return any information from computer systems or hard drives, tapes, memory or other electronic forms of information retention
23
processes, materials or equipment. All Confidential Information so retained shall remain subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth herein.
8.4 Data Transfer Agreement. In addition to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 8.1, but subject to the provisions of Sections 8.2 and 8.3 concerning permitted disclosures and retention, each Buyer agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Data Transfer Agreement that are applicable to the “Company” thereunder as though such Buyer were a signatory to such Data Transfer Agreement as the “Company” thereunder.
9. Miscellaneous.
Except as otherwise expressly set forth in a Transaction Agreement, the following will apply to all Transaction Agreements:
9.1 Copies of Records; Further Assurances. Each Party will promptly provide, upon the other Party’s written request, copies of the other Party’s records in a Party’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ possession or control. Each Party will promptly execute, or cause its Subsidiaries to promptly execute, such other documents and instruments, and provide such other assurances, as reasonably necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the Transaction Agreements.
9.2 Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth in the Engagement Letter or in any Transaction Agreement, all costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors, and accountants, incurred in connection with any Transaction Agreement will be paid by the Party incurring those costs and expenses.
9.3 Entire Agreement. This Framework Agreement, together with the other Transaction Agreements, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes all prior oral and written negotiations, communications, discussions, and correspondence pertaining to the subject matter of the Transaction Agreements (other than, with respect to reimbursement of expenses, the Engagement Letter).
9.4 Order of Precedence. If there is a conflict between this Framework Agreement and any other Transaction Agreement, this Framework Agreement will control unless the conflicting provision of the other Transaction Agreement specifically references the provision of this Framework Agreement to be superseded.
9.5 Amendments and Waivers. The Transaction Agreements may only be amended or modified (including any waiver of or exception to any obligation or covenant under a Transaction Agreement) by an instrument in writing signed by each Party hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent is not authorized to sign any waiver or amendment on behalf of any Buyer without the consent of such Buyer.
9.6 Binding Effect. The Transaction Agreements will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns.
24
9.7 Assignment. Except as provided in this Framework Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, neither this Framework Agreement nor any other Transaction Agreement, respectively, may be assigned or otherwise transferred, nor may any right or obligation hereunder or under another Transaction Agreement be assigned or transferred by any Party without the consent of the other Parties. Any permitted assignee shall assume all obligations of its assignor under this Framework Agreement; provided, that in the event of any assignment by a Defaulting Buyer required pursuant to Section 4.5(b), any indemnity obligations owed to or by such Defaulting Buyer under the Transaction Agreements shall survive such assignment. This Framework Agreement is binding upon the permitted successors and assigns of the Parties. Any attempted assignment not in accordance with this Section 9.7 shall be void.
