PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS
Certain terms that are capitalized and used throughout this Agreement are defined in Exhibit I to this Agreement. Capitalized terms not defined herein are used as defined in the Purchase Agreement or, if not defined in the Purchase Agreement, the Credit Agreement. References in the Exhibits to the “Agreement” refer to this Agreement, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time. All interest rate and yield determinations referenced herein shall be expressed as a decimal and rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundredth of a percentage point in the manner set forth herein (as applicable).
The Seller has acquired, and may continue to acquire, Receivables and Related Security from the Originator, either by purchase or by contribution to the capital of the Seller, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The Seller is prepared to sell undivided fractional ownership interests (referred to herein as “Receivable Interests”) in the Pool Receivables. The Purchasers may, in their sole discretion, purchase such Receivable Interests in the Pool Receivables, and the Banks are prepared to purchase such Receivable Interests in the Pool Receivables, in each case on the terms set forth herein.
Certain parties hereto previously entered into that certain Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 28, 2011, as amended by that certain Assignment and Acceptance and Amendment Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2011 and as further amended and supplemented as of February 2, 2012, May 18, 2012 and September 24, 2012 (the “Existing Agreement”).
any Bank plus, in the event such Bank has any related Purchasers, such Bank’s ratable share of the outstanding Capital of Receivable Interests in the Pool Receivables held by such related Purchasers to exceed its Bank Commitment (as of the Original Date with respect to such funding)). The funding or failure to fund the Delayed Funds will not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Seller to make all payments as provided in this Agreement.
(viii) In the event that a Delaying Bank is prohibited by applicable law from funding its Delayed Funds on a Delayed Funding Date, then such Delaying Bank shall be deemed to have purchased a participation from each Non-Delaying Bank or related Purchaser in its outstanding Capital, as applicable, in an amount that such Delaying Bank would otherwise be required to pay to such Non-Delaying Bank or related Purchaser pursuant to clause (vi) of this Section 1.02(e).
SECTION 1.03. Receivable Interest Computation.
Each Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables shall be initially computed on its date of purchase. Thereafter until the Termination Date for such Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables, such Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) based upon the information provided in the most recently submitted Monthly Report on each day other than a Liquidation Day; provided that, if a more recent Weekly Report or Daily Report has been submitted to the Administrative Agent and the Purchaser Agents pursuant to Section 4.02(g), then the Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables reflected in such Monthly Report, Weekly Report or Daily Report that is the highest shall be used; provided, further that, if such Weekly Report or Daily Report, as applicable, recalculates all of the components (including the Net Receivables Pool Balance and reserve components in the calculation of such Receivable Interest) necessary to determine such Receivable Interest as of the relevant calculation day for such report in a manner consistent with the calculation thereof made in the most recently submitted Monthly Report and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, then the Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables reflected in such Weekly Report or Daily Report, as applicable, shall be used. Such Receivable Interest shall be 100% from and after the occurrence of a Termination Date until the event causing such Termination Date has been waived or cured. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Receivable Interest shall become zero when Capital thereof and Yield thereon shall have been paid in full, all other amounts owed by the Seller and the Collection Agent hereunder to the Investors, the Banks, the Administrative Agent and the Purchaser Agents and each Indemnified Party and each Affected Person are paid in full and the Collection Agent shall have received the accrued Collection Agent Fee thereon.
SECTION 1.04. Settlement Procedures.
(a) Collection of the Pool Receivables shall be administered by a Collection Agent, in accordance with the terms of Article IV of this Agreement. The Collection Agent shall direct each Obligor to direct all payments of Collections into Collection Accounts. Subsequently, the Collection Agent shall forthwith cause all such Collections received in the Collection Accounts to be transferred into the Controlled Account within one Business Day; provided that, if the balance in any such Collection Account is less than $50,000, the Collection Agent shall not

assets and liabilities that are the subject of this Agreement and/or other Transaction Documents, but excluding any assets and liabilities that are currently consolidated with those of any Affected Person (other than such Purchaser or Bank), shall constitute a change in the interpretation, administration or application of a law, regulation, guideline or request subject to Section 1.08(a), (b) and (c).
(e) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Seller if any event of which it has knowledge, which will entitle an Affected Person to compensation pursuant to this Section 1.08. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that such notice is not given to the Seller by the Administrative Agent, such Affected Person shall not be entitled to compensation from the Administrative Agent for any additional costs incurred as a result of such failure to notify.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Affected Person shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 1.08 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Affected Person to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other similar agreements, including, but not limited to, secured credit agreements collateralized by receivables and receivables purchase agreements, if any (and such Affected Person so certifies to the Seller).
SECTION 1.09. Intended Characterization; Security Interest.
The Seller, the Purchasers, the Administrative Agent, the Investors, the Banks and the Purchaser Agents intend that the sale, assignment and transfer of the Receivable Interests to the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be treated as a true sale for all purposes, other than federal and state income tax purposes and accounting purposes.
