ARTICLE II.
AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF ADVANCES
AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF ADVANCES
Section 2.01. Advances.
(a) Revolving Credit Advances.
(i) From and after the Closing Date and until the Commitment Termination Date and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender) severally agrees to make its Pro Rata Share of advances to the Borrower from time to time (each, a “Revolving Credit Advance”). The Outstanding Principal Amount of all Advances shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (x) the Aggregate Commitment and (y) the Borrowing Base. The Outstanding Principal Amount of Revolving Credit Advances made by each Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment. The Borrower may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Credit Advances hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
(ii) The Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender) that makes a request therefor, a note to evidence the Revolving Credit Advances which may be made hereunder from time to time by such Lender. Each such note shall be (x) in the principal amount of the applicable Commitment of the applicable Lender, (y) dated as of the date of issuance thereof, and (z) substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.01(a)(ii) (each, a “Revolving Note”). Each Revolving Note shall represent the obligation of the Borrower to pay the amount of each Lender’s Commitment or, if less, the Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of all outstanding Revolving Credit Advances made to the Borrower, together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.06. The Outstanding Principal Amount of Revolving Credit Advances and all other accrued and unpaid Borrower Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Facility Maturity Date.
(b) Swing Line Advances. • From and after the Closing Date and until the Commitment Termination Date and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make advances (each such advance hereunder, a “Swing Line Advance”) to the Borrower from time to time; provided that if the Swing Line Lender believes in good faith that one or more Lenders is or will be a Non-Funding Lender, the Swing Line Lender may, in its sole discretion, elect not to make the portion of a Swing Line Advance equal to the Pro Rata Share of such Lender or Lenders of the requested amount of the Swing Line Advance unless the Swing Line Lender shall have received Adequate Security with respect to such portion of the requested Swing Line Advance. The aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loan shall not at any time exceed the Swing Line Commitment. The Borrower may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow Swing Line Advances hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received at least one Business Day’s prior written notice from the Lenders instructing it not to make a Swing Line Advance, the Swing Line Lender shall, notwithstanding the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 3.01 or 3.02, be entitled to fund such Swing Line Advance, and to have the Lenders make Revolving Credit Advances in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(iii) or purchase participating interests in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(iv). The Borrower shall repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Loan in full in immediately available funds on the Facility Maturity Date.
(i) The Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Swing Line Lender a note to evidence the Swing Line Loan. Such note shall be in the principal amount of the Swing Line Commitment, dated the Restatement Effective Date and substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.01(b)(ii) (the “Swing Line Note”). The Swing Line Note shall represent the obligation of the Borrower to pay the Swing Line Loan, together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.06. The Swing Line Loan and all other accrued and unpaid Borrower Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Facility Maturity Date.
(ii) The Swing Line Lender, at any time and from time to time no less frequently than once per month, shall on behalf of the Borrower (and the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so act on its behalf) request each Lender (excluding the Swing Line Lender) to make a Revolving Credit Advance to the Borrower in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of the Swing Line Loan (the “Refunded Swing Line Loan”) outstanding on the date such notice is given. Unless the Commitment Termination Date has occurred (in which event the procedures of subsection (iv) below shall apply) and regardless of whether the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 to the making of a Revolving Credit Advance are then satisfied, each Lender shall disburse directly to the Administrative Agent, its Pro Rata Share of a Revolving Credit Advance on behalf of the Swing Line Lender, prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time), in immediately available funds on the Business Day next succeeding the date on which such notice is given. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Advances shall be immediately paid to the Swing Line Lender and applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loan.
(iii) If, prior to a repayment of a Swing Line Loan with a Revolving Credit Advance pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(iii), the Commitment Termination Date or one of the events described in Sections 8.01(d) or (e) has occurred, then, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01(b)(v) below, each Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Credit Advance was to have been made for the benefit of the Borrower, will be deemed to have purchased from the Swing Line Lender an undivided participation interest in the Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan. Upon request by the Swing Line Lender, each Lender shall promptly transfer to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation interest.
(iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(iii) and to purchase participation interests in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(iv) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of any Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event; (C) any inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement at any time; or (D) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If any Lender does not make available to the Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount required pursuant to Sections 2.01(b)(iii) or (b)(iv), as the case may be, the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled, in its discretion, (x) to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date of non-payment until such amount is paid in full at the Federal Funds Rate for the first two Business Days and at the Index Rate thereafter and (y) apply, to the extent and in satisfaction of such amount, any collateral provided by or on behalf of such Lender as Adequate Security.
(v) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Swing Line Lender elects not to make the portion of a Swing Line Advance in respect of any Lender (a “Specified Lender”) pursuant to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.01(b), each other Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(iii) and to purchase participation interests in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(iv) in respect of such Swing Line Advance shall be calculated ratably based on the respective Commitments of the Lenders (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any Lender that is a Specified Lender).
Section 2.02. Optional Changes in Aggregate Commitment.
(a) The Borrower may, not more than four times during each calendar year, irrevocably reduce the Aggregate Commitment; provided, that (i) the Borrower shall give five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of any such reduction to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.02(a) (each such notice, a “Commitment Reduction Notice”), (ii) any partial reduction of the Aggregate Commitment shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess of $1,000,000 and (iii) no such partial reduction shall reduce the Aggregate Commitment below the greater of (x) the Outstanding Principal Amount at such time and (y) $25,000,000. Any such reduction in the Aggregate Commitment shall result in (i) a reduction in each Lender’s Commitment in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which the Aggregate Commitment is being reduced and (ii) a proportional reduction in the Swing Line Commitment; provided, however, that no such partial reduction shall reduce the Swing Line Commitment below the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loan.
(b) The Borrower may, at any time, on at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, irrevocably terminate the Aggregate Commitment; provided, that (i) such notice of termination shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.02(b) (the “Commitment Termination Notice”) and (ii) the Borrower shall reduce the Outstanding Principal Amount of Advances to zero, and make all payments required by Section 2.03(g) at the time and in the manner specified therein. Upon such termination, the Borrower’s right to request that (1) any Lender make Revolving Credit Advances or (2) the Swing Line Lender make Swing Line Advances hereunder, shall in each case simultaneously terminate and the Commitment Termination Date shall automatically occur.
(c) Each written notice required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 2.02(a) and (b) shall be irrevocable and shall be effective (i) on the day of receipt if received by the Administrative Agent not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day and (ii) on the immediately succeeding Business Day if received by the Administrative Agent after such time on such Business Day or if any such notice is received on a day other than a Business Day (regardless of the time of day such notice is received).
Section 2.03. Procedures for Making Advances.
(a) Borrowing Requests. Except for a request for a Borrowing made under Section 2.01(b)(iii), each Borrowing Request must be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in writing so that it is received no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day of the proposed Advance Date set forth therein. Each request for a Borrowing (a “Borrowing Request”) shall (i) be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.03(a), (ii) be irrevocable and (iii) specify the amount of the requested Borrowing (which shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000) and the proposed Advance Date (which shall be a Business Day). Each Borrowing requested pursuant to a Borrowing Request shall be in the form of a Swing Line Advance until such Swing Line Advance is repaid or otherwise refinanced in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(iii) or (b)(iv). The Administrative Agent shall review the pro forma calculation of the Borrowing Base delivered in connection with each Borrowing Request to confirm whether a Funding Excess exists or would exist after giving effect to the Borrowing requested in the related Borrowing Request. If a Funding Excess exists or would exist after giving effect to the Borrowing requested in the related Borrowing Request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender thereof. Unless a LIBOR Rate Disruption Event shall have occurred, each Advance shall be a LIBOR Rate Advance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Swing Line Lender has elected not to make any portion of a Swing Line Advance pursuant to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.01(b), such portion of the requested Borrowing will be funded as a Revolving Credit Advance.
(b) Advances; Payments.
(i) The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receipt of a Borrowing Request delivered in accordance with Section 2.03(a) and in any event prior to 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date such Borrowing Request is deemed received, by telecopy, telephone, electronic mail or other similar form of communication, notify (i) the Swing Line Lender of its receipt of a Borrowing Request relating to a request for Swing Line Advances or (ii) the Lenders of its receipt of a Borrowing Request relating to a request for Revolving Credit Advances. Following such notification (i) the Swing Line Lender (in the case of Swing Line Advance) or (ii) the Lenders (in the case of Revolving Credit Advances) shall make the amount of such Swing Line Advance or Revolving Credit Advances, as applicable, available to the Administrative Agent in same day funds by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent’s account as set forth in Annex W not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested Advance Date. After receipt of such wire transfers (or, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion in accordance with Section 2.03(c), before receipt of such wire transfers), subject to the terms hereof (including, without limitation, the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02), the Administrative Agent shall make available to the Borrower by deposit into an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower (or such other account designated by the Borrower) on the Advance Date therefor, the lesser of (x) the amount of the requested Borrowing and (y) (i) in the case of any requested Swing Line Advance, the amount of Swing Line Availability and (ii) in the case of any requested Revolving Credit Advances, the amount of Funding Availability. All payments by each Lender under this Section 2.03(b)(i) shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
(ii) On each Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent will advise each Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender) by telephone or telecopy of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees (to the extent payable to all Lenders) paid for the benefit of Lenders with respect to each applicable Revolving Credit Advance. Provided that such Lender has made all payments required to be made by it and purchased all participations required to be purchased by it under this Agreement and the other Related Documents as of such Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent will pay to each Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees (to the extent payable to all Lenders) with respect to each applicable Revolving Credit Advance, paid by the Borrower since the previous Settlement Date for the benefit of that Lender. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer to such Lender’s account (as specified by such Lender in Annex W or the applicable Assignment Agreement) not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on each Settlement Date.
(iii) On each Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent will advise the Swing Line Lender of the amount of principal, interest and Fees paid for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender with respect to the Swing Line Loan. The Administrative Agent will pay to the Swing Line Lender the amount of principal, interest and Fees paid by the Borrower since the previous Settlement Date for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer or by book balance to the Swing Line Lender’s account (as specified by the Swing Line Lender in Annex W or the applicable Assignment Agreement) not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on each Settlement Date.
(c) Availability of Lenders’ Advances. The Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender) will make its Pro Rata Share of each Borrowing of Revolving Credit Advances available to the Administrative Agent on each Advance Date. If the Administrative Agent has made available to the Borrower such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any such Borrowing but such Pro Rata Share is not, in fact, paid to the Administrative Agent by such Lender when due, the Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from (x) such Lender without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind and (y) any collateral provided as Adequate Security. If any Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately repay such amount to the Administrative Agent. Nothing in this Section 2.03(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Related Documents shall be deemed to require the Administrative Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. To the extent that the Administrative Agent advances funds to the Borrower on behalf of any Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such Revolving Credit Advance is made, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such Revolving Credit Advance from the date of such Revolving Credit Advance to the date such Revolving Credit Advance is reimbursed by the applicable Lender.
(d) Return of Payments. • If the Administrative Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower and such related payment is not received by the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from (x) such Lender on demand without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind and (y) any collateral provided as Adequate Security.
(i) If at any time any amount received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement must be returned to the Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Related Document, the Administrative Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to the Administrative Agent (or the Administrative Agent may apply any Adequate Security) on demand any portion of such amount that the Administrative Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as the Administrative Agent is required to pay to the Borrower or such other Person, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
(e) Non-Funding Lenders. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Revolving Credit Advance to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by it, but neither any Other Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Revolving Credit Advance to be made by such Non-Funding Lender (it being understood that the Other Lenders shall be required to fund the portion of any Revolving Credit Advance that a Non-Funding Lender fails to fund to the extent that the Revolving Credit Advances made by such Other Lenders do not exceed such Lenders’ respective Commitment after giving effect to any funding). Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Related Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Requisite Lenders” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Related Document unless and until such Non-Funding Lender shall have cured in full its failures to make Revolving Credit Advances hereunder.
(f) Actions in Concert. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement, the Revolving Notes or the Swing Line Note (including exercising any rights of set-off) without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders, it being the intent of the Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement, the Revolving Notes and the Swing Line Note shall, subject to any provision herein requiring that each Lender consent to a particular action, be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders.
(g) Principal Repayments. On each Business Day, Collections on deposit in the Agent Account shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.08(b) or Section 2.08(c), as applicable. The Borrower may at any time repay outstanding Advances hereunder; provided that (i) the Borrower shall give not less than one Business Day’s prior written notice of any such repayment to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.03(g) (any such notice, a “Repayment Notice”), (ii) any such notice shall be irrevocable, (iii) any such notice shall specify the amount of the requested repayment and the proposed date of such repayment (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) any such repayment shall be applied first to the Swing Line Loan until the Outstanding Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero, and second, pro rata to the Lenders, to the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances and (v) any such repayment must be accompanied by payment of all interest accrued and unpaid on the portion of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Advances to be repaid through but excluding the date of such repayment. Any such notice of repayment must be received by the Administrative Agent no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of the proposed repayment; provided, further, that the foregoing requirements shall not apply to repayment of the outstanding principal amount of Advances as a result of the application of Collections pursuant to Section 2.08.
Section 2.04. Pledge and Release of Transferred Receivables.
(a) Pledge. The Borrower shall indicate in its Records that the Transferred Receivables have been pledged hereunder and that the Administrative Agent has a security interest in all such Transferred Receivables for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Borrower shall, and shall cause the Servicer to, hold all Contracts and other documents relating to such Transferred Receivables in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties in accordance with their interests hereunder. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that its retention and possession of such Contracts and documents shall at all times be in a custodial capacity for the Administrative Agent’s (on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties) benefit only.
(b) Repurchases of Transferred Receivables.
(i) If an Originator is required to repurchase Transferred Receivables from the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.04 of the Sale Agreement, upon payment by such Originator to the Concentration Account of the applicable repurchase price thereof (which repurchase price shall not be less than an amount equal to the Billed Amount of such Transferred Receivable minus the Collections received in respect thereof, the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties shall release their liens on and security interests in the Transferred Receivables being so repurchased.
(ii) If any Originator is to be merged or consolidated with (or sold or otherwise transferred to) any Person that is not a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Parent or a division or business unit or certain assets of a Originator are to be sold to a Person that is not a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Parent (any such transaction, an “Originator Disposition”) and the related Originator determines in its commercially reasonable judgment that it is impracticable to consummate such Originator Disposition unless all Transferred Receivables originated by such Originator (or, in the case of the sale of a division or business unit or certain assets of a Originator, the Transferred Receivables generated by such division, business unit or assets (such Transferred Receivables, the “Related Transferred Receivables”) are also transferred by such Originator (or, in the case of any merger or consolidation, are owned by such Originator at the time of such merger or consolidation) in connection with the related Originator Disposition, the Borrower may transfer all (and not less than all) of its Transferred Receivables (or, in the case of the sale of a division or business unit or certain assets of an Originator, the Related Transferred Receivables with respect to such Originator Disposition), in any case, without recourse, representation, warranty or covenant of any kind, to such Originator for a repurchase price equal to the Billed Amount of such Transferred Receivable minus the sum of Collections received in respect thereof but which may be paid, subject to the conditions set forth below and of the “Subordinated Note” executed in connection with the Sale Agreement, by a reduction in the outstanding balance of the related “Subordinated Loans” (as defined in the Sale Agreement) owing to the related Originator), and the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall release the liens on and security interests in any such Transferred Receivables being so repurchased if the following conditions are satisfied:
(a) after giving effect to such transfer and release, there shall not exist any Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event (including, without limitation, any Incipient Termination Event arising because of the occurrence of a Funding Excess);
(b) at least five (5) Business Days prior to any such transfer and release, the Borrower shall have delivered, true, correct and complete copies of all documents to be executed or delivered in connection with the repurchase of the Transferred Receivables by the applicable Originator and, in the case of a transfer and release of all of the Transferred Receivables of a particular Originator, a release of such Originator from its continuing obligations under the Sale Agreement (other than those obligations which by the terms of the Sale Agreement survive the termination thereof) upon payment of the repurchase price for such Transferred Receivables, all of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (it being understood that the Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, sign or be bound by any agreements in connection with a Originator Disposition other than an instrument or assignment without recourse, representation, warranty or covenant by the Borrower);
(c) at least five (5) Business Days prior to any such transfer and release, the Borrower shall have delivered a written notice to the Administrative Agent of such Originator Transactions, certifying that the foregoing condition described in clause (A) above shall be satisfied after giving effect to such transfer and release, together with a pro forma Report giving effect to such release and any concurrent repayment of Advances;
(d) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such opinion letters and other documentation related to the repurchase of the Transferred Receivables by the applicable Originator and the proposed transfer of such Transferred Receivables to the applicable Originator in connection therewith as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request (which shall include, if requested by the Administrative Agent, an opinion letter of qualified counsel with respect to issues of substantive nonconsolidation of the Borrower and confirming or reaffirming the “true sale” and “absolute transfer” of Receivables under the Sale Agreement and, in the case of a transfer and release of Related Transferred Receivables with respect to a Originator Disposition, with respect to the creation and perfection of the security interest of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in the remaining Receivables of the applicable Originator); and
(e) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a report demonstrating that none of the portfolio tests set forth in Section 8.01(s) would have resulted in a Termination Event as of the most recent test date had such portfolio tests been calculated without including such Related Transferred Receivables and any other applicable Related Transferred Receivables previously repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.04(b).
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Related Document to the contrary, the Borrower shall have no obligation to any Originator to reconvey any Transferred Receivables to any Originator or any other Person in connection with any Originator Disposition.
Section 2.05. Commitment Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Lender shall have any obligation to make any Advances from and after the Commitment Termination Date.
Section 2.06. Interest; Charges.
(a) The Borrower shall pay interest to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, with respect to the outstanding amount of each Revolving Credit Advance made or maintained by each Lender, in arrears on each applicable Settlement Date, (i) for each LIBOR Rate Advance outstanding from time to time, at the applicable LIBOR Rate as in effect from time to time during the related Settlement Period, and (ii) for each Index Rate Advance outstanding from time to time, at the applicable Index Rate as in effect from time to time during the related Settlement Period. The Borrower shall pay interest to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender, with respect to the outstanding amount of each Swing Line Advance, in arrears on each applicable Settlement Date, at the LIBOR Rate as in effect from time to time during the related Settlement Period. Interest for each Advance shall be calculated based upon actual days elapsed during the applicable Settlement Period, for a 360 day year based upon actual days elapsed since the last Settlement Date (or 365 or 366, as applicable, with respect to interest or other amounts calculated by reference to the Index Rate). Unless a LIBOR Rate Disruption Event shall have occurred, each Advance shall be a LIBOR Rate Advance.
(b) So long as any Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the interest rates applicable to each Advance and any other unpaid Borrower Obligation hereunder shall be increased by two percent (2.0%) per annum (such increased rate, in each case, the “Default Rate”), and all outstanding Borrower Obligations shall bear interest at the applicable Default Rate from the date of such Termination Event until such Termination Event is waived or cured.
(c) The Administrative Agent is authorized to, and at its sole election may, charge to the Borrower as Revolving Credit Advances and cause to be paid all Fees, expenses, charges, costs, interest and principal, other than principal of the Advances, owing by the Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents solely to the extent the Borrower fails to pay any such amounts as and when due, and any charges so made shall constitute part of the Outstanding Principal Amount hereunder even if such charges would cause the aggregate balance of the Outstanding Principal Amount to exceed the Borrowing Base.
Section 2.07. Fees.
(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of itself and the Lenders, as applicable, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter on the dates such fees are payable pursuant to the Fee Letter.

(c) On each Settlement Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Servicer or to the Successor Servicer, as applicable, the Servicing Fee or the Successor Servicing Fees and Expenses, respectively, in each case to the extent of available funds therefor pursuant to Section 2.08.
Section 2.08. Application of Collections; Time and Method of Payments.
(a) Each Advance shall mature, and be payable, on the Facility Maturity Date (in which case such Advance shall be payable in full).
(b) Prior to the Commitment Termination Date, any proceeds of Borrower Collateral received by the Borrower or the Servicer shall be set aside and held in trust by the Servicer for the payment of any accrued and unpaid Borrower Obligations as provided in this Section 2.08. Any Collections not required to be set aside prior to the Commitment Termination Date may be used by the Borrower for the payment of the purchase price for new Receivables under the Sale Agreement. On the Commitment Termination Date and on each day thereafter, the Borrower shall cause the Servicer to set aside and hold in trust for the Secured Parties all proceeds of Borrower Collateral received on such day and an additional amount for the payment of any accrued and unpaid Borrower Obligations owed by the Borrower and not previously paid by Borrower; provided that if the Administrative Agent has delivered a Notice of Exclusive Control in accordance with the terms hereof, all proceeds of Borrower Collateral received by the Administrative Agent shall be held by the Administrative Agent or its designee for application pursuant to this Section 2.08.
(c) From and after the Commitment Termination Date and on each Business Day on which any Borrower Obligations are due for payment, the Borrower (and/or, if the Administrative Agent has delivered a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Administrative Agent to the extent that it has received proceeds of Borrower Collateral), shall apply all proceeds of Borrower Collateral then available in the following order of priority:
(i) first, to the extent then due and payable, to the payment of all Fees accrued and unpaid through such date and all unreimbursed expenses of the Administrative Agent which are reimbursable pursuant to the terms hereof;
(ii) second, if such Business Day is a Settlement Date, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest which is then due and payable in respect of the Advances, pro rata based on the Commitments;
(iii) third, if the Servicer has been replaced as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Servicer Termination and such Servicer is not an Affiliate of the Parent, to the payment of the aggregate accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees through such date payable to such replacement Servicer;
(iv) fourth, to the payment of any outstanding Advances then due and payable, pro rata based on the Commitments; provided, that principal on Advances shall be applied in the following order, to the payment of the Outstanding Principal Amount of Advances, first, in respect of Swing Line Advances, and second, in respect of Revolving Credit Advances, pro rata based on the Commitments;
(v) fifth, if any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02 shall not be satisfied, to the payment of the Outstanding Principal Amount of all other Advances, first, in respect of Swing Line Advances and second, in respect of Revolving Credit Advances, pro rata based on the Commitments;
(vi) sixth, to the extent then due and payable, pro rata, to the payment of all other obligations of the Borrower accrued and unpaid hereunder, including, without limitation, the expenses of the Lenders reimbursable under Section 12.04; and
(vii) seventh, to be paid to the account designated by the Borrower.
(d) Funding Excesses. If and to the extent a Funding Excess exists on any Business Day, the Borrower shall deposit an amount equal to the amount of such Funding Excess in the Agent Account by no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the immediately succeeding Business Day, which amount shall be applied by the Administrative Agent first, in immediate repayment of the outstanding amount of Swing Line Advances (if any), and second, in immediate repayment of the outstanding amount of Revolving Credit Advances.
(e) To the extent that amounts on deposit in the Agent Account on any day are insufficient to pay amounts due on such day in respect of the matured portion of any Advances or any interest, Fees or any other amounts due and payable by the Borrower hereunder, the Borrower shall pay, upon notice from the Administrative Agent, the amount of such insufficiency to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, in immediately available funds (for the account of the Administrative Agent, the applicable Lenders, Affected Parties or Indemnified Persons) not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on such day. Any such payment made on such date but after such time shall be deemed to have been made on, and interest shall continue to accrue and be payable thereon at the LIBOR Rate (in the case of LIBOR Rate Advances) or the Index Rate (in all other cases), until the next succeeding Business Day.
(f) At all times after the Administrative Agent shall have exercised its right to delivery any Notices of Exclusive Control in accordance with the terms hereof, the Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments received from or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that any and all such payments shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 2.08; provided, that the Borrower shall have no responsibility for the allocation or disbursement of any such payments.
(g) All payments of principal of the Advances and all payments of interest, Fees and other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds. If any such payment becomes due on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon at the LIBOR Rate (in the case of LIBOR Rate Advances) or Index Rate (in all other cases) shall be payable during such extension. Payments received at or prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on such Business Day. Payments received after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day.
(h) Upon receipt of a notice in accordance with Section 7.03 of the Sale Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall, if such amounts have not been applied to the Borrower Obligations, segregate the Unrelated Amounts and the same shall not be deemed to constitute Collections on Transferred Receivables.
(i) The Administrative Agent agrees that it will not deliver a Notice of Exclusive Control unless a Trigger Event has occurred. From and after the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the Administrative Agent may deliver a Notice of Exclusive Control in its sole and absolute discretion. Following the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Administrative Agent will direct the applicable Collection Account Bank and/or Concentration Account Bank to deliver all available funds on deposit in each applicable Account to the Agent Account or such other account designated by the Administrative Agent. Any amounts received by the Administrative Agent may be applied by the Administrative Agent to Borrower Obligations that are then due and payable in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in this Section 2.08. If, on any day, the Administrative Agent receives any amounts in connection with the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control that are in excess of Borrower Obligations that are then due and owing, the Administrative Agent may in its sole and absolute discretion (x) retain from such amounts an amount equal to those Borrower Obligations (other than the Outstanding Principal Amount) that have accrued but are not then due and payable (such amounts shall be retained for application in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in this Section 2.08 on the next Settlement Date) and/or (y) if a Termination Event is continuing, retain Collections and other proceeds of Collateral in an amount necessary to cash collateralize 105% of the Borrower Obligations (or such lower amount as the Administrative Agent may designate). After giving effect to any retention pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall pay any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent to an account designated by the Borrower.
Section 2.09. Illegality. If after the Closing Date any Lender shall determine that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration thereof, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Lending Office to make LIBOR Rate Advances, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, the obligation of that Lender to make LIBOR Rate Advances shall be suspended until such Lender shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exists.
(a) Subject to clause (c) below, if any Lender shall determine that it is unlawful to maintain any LIBOR Rate Advance, the Borrower shall prepay in full all LIBOR Rate Advances of such Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Advances to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Advances, together with any amounts required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to Section 2.11.
(b) If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Advances has been terminated, the Borrower may elect, by giving notice to such Lender through the Administrative Agent that all Advances which would otherwise be made by any such Lender as LIBOR Rate Advances shall be instead Index Rate Advances.
(c) Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.09, the affected Lender shall designate a different Lending Office with respect to its LIBOR Rate Advances if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the judgment of the Lender, be illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender.
Section 2.10. Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.
(a) If any Lender shall determine that, due to either (i) the introduction of, or any change in, or in the interpretation of, any Requirement of Law or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in the case of either clause (i) or (ii) subsequent to the Closing Date, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Advances, then the Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, within thirty (30) days of demand therefor by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to Administrative Agent), pay to Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this clause (a) for any increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower, in writing of the increased costs and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation thereof; provided, further, that if the circumstance 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 any Lender shall have determined that:
(i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation;
(ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation;
(iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof; or
(iv) compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) or any entity controlling the Lender, with any Capital Adequacy Regulation;
affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any entity controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such entities’ policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitments, loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, within thirty (30) days of demand of such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender (or the entity controlling the Lender) for such increase; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this clause (b) for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower, in writing of the amounts and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation thereof; provided, further, that if the event giving rise to such increase is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States of America or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case in respect of this clause (ii) pursuant to Basel III, shall, in each case, be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law under subsection (a) above and/or a change in Capital Adequacy Regulation under subsection (b) above, as applicable, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.
(d) Each of the Administrative Agent and each Affected Party agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of this Section 2.11 or entitling any such party to receive additional amounts under Section 13.01 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, and to the extent permitted by law or by the relevant Governmental Authority, endeavor in good faith to avoid or minimize the increase in costs, reduction in payments, or payment of additional amounts resulting from such event (including endeavoring to change its lending office) so long as such avoidance or minimization can be made in such a manner that such Lender, in its sole determination, suffers no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage.
Section 2.11. Funding Losses. The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:
(a) the failure of the Borrower to make any payment or mandatory prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Rate Advance (including payments made after any acceleration thereof);
(b) the failure of the Borrower to borrow, continue or convert an Advance after the Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Borrowing Request;
(c) the failure of the Borrower to make any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice in accordance with Section 2.02; or
(d) the prepayment (including pursuant to Section 2.03) of a LIBOR Rate Advance on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto;
including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its LIBOR Rate Advances hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained; provided that, with respect to the expenses described in clauses (c) and (d) above, such Lender shall have notified the Administrative Agent of any such expense within two (2) Business Days of the date on which such expense was incurred. Solely for purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 2.11 and under Section 2.10(a): each LIBOR Rate Advance made by a Lender (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at the LIBOR Rate used in determining the interest rate for such LIBOR Rate Advance by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank Eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Rate Advance is in fact so funded.
Section 2.12. Inability to Determine Rates. If the Administrative Agent shall have determined in good faith that a LIBOR Rate Disruption Event shall have occurred, the Administrative Agent will forthwith give notice of such determination to the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Advances hereunder shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any Borrowing Request then submitted by it. If the Borrower does not revoke such notice, such Advances shall be Index Rate Advances.
Section 2.13. Reserves on LIBOR Rate Advances. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required under regulations of the Federal Reserve Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional costs on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Rate Advances equal to actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Advance by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Advance provided the Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from the Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Settlement Date, such additional interest shall be payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice.
Section 2.14. Non-Funding Lenders.
(a) If a Lender becomes a Non-Funding Lender, then, so long as such Lender remains a Non-Funding Lender in accordance with clause (c) below, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any amount paid by the Borrower for the account of such Non-Funding Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of Advances, interest, Fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Non-Funding Lender, but will, so long as such Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account (the “Non-Funding Lender Account”), until the Termination Date and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority (and the Non-Funding Lender shall have no claims against the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender for making such redirected payments): first, to the payment of any amounts, if any, due and owing by such Non-Funding Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, together with interest thereon owing at the Index Rate; second, to the payment of interest due and payable to the Other Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them; third, to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Other Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them; fourth, if as of any Settlement Date the Advances of any Other Lender exceeds its Pro Rata Share (as determined without giving effect to the proviso in the definition thereof) of the total Advances, to repay the Advances of each such Other Lender in the amount necessary to eliminate such excess, pro rata based on the Advances of the Other Lenders; fifth, to make any other mandatory reductions of the Advances of the Other Lenders required under Section 2.08, pro rata based on the Advances of such Other Lenders; sixth, to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Other Lenders; and seventh, to pay any interest, Advances or other amounts owing under this Agreement to such Non-Funding Lender in the order of priority set forth in Section 2.08(c) hereof or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct; provided that funds shall be redirected from the Non-Funding Lender Account to pay amounts owed under clauses second through sixth solely after application of other funds on deposit in the Agent Account and only to the extent that such other funds are insufficient to make such payments. Any funds redirected from the Non-Funding Lender Account to make payments under clauses second through sixth above shall not be deemed to be payment by the Borrower for purposes of determining whether a Termination Event has occurred and shall not discharge any obligations of the Borrower to make such payment. To the extent that any Other Lenders have been paid with amounts redirected from the Non-Funding Lender Account, the Non-Funding Lender shall, from and after payment in full of all interest, Advances and other amounts owed to the Other Lender, be subrogated to the rights of the Other Lenders to the extent of any such payments from the Non-Funding Lender Account under clause seventh above.
(b) Notwithstanding clause (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized at any time that any Commitments remain outstanding, at its sole and absolute discretion, after payment of any amounts owed under clause first of the first sentence of clause (a) above, to (i) retain amounts in any Non-Funding Lender Account in an amount up to the related Non-Funding Lender’s unfunded Commitment and (ii) use any portion of such retained amounts to pay such Non-Funding Lender’s funding obligations hereunder. Upon any such unfunded obligations owing by a Non-Funding Lender becoming due and payable, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to use the amounts in a Non-Funding Lender’s Non-Funding Lender Account to make such payment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender. Upon the termination of all Commitments, any amounts in any Non-Funding Lender Account shall be applied in accordance with the first sentence of clause (a) above.
(c) If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their discretion that a Non-Funding Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Non-Funding Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the other parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.14(a)), such Non-Funding Lender shall, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding Advances of the Other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances of all of the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Non-Funding Lender, provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Non-Funding Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, such notification will not constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Non-Funding Lender.
Section 2.15. Register; Registered Obligations.
(a) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower solely for tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 2.15, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 12.01 (or at such other address as the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrower) (i) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which the Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and each Lender in the Revolving Credit Advances, the Swing Line Advances, each of their obligations under this Agreement to participate in the each Revolving Credit Advance, Swing Line Advance and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right and (ii) accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (1) the names and addresses of the Lenders (and each change thereto pursuant to Sections 12.01 and 12.02), (2) the Revolving Commitment of each Lender, (3) the amount of each Revolving Credit Advance and each funding of any participation described in clause (i) above, (4) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or paid, and (5) any other payment received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower and its application to the Borrower Obligations. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(b) Registered Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Advances (including any notes evidencing such Advances) are registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the Lenders and their assignees in and to such Advances, as the case may be, shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This Section 2.15 and Section 12.02 shall be construed so that the Advances are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the IRC and any related regulations (and any successor provisions).
Section 2.16. Certificates of Lenders. Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation pursuant to this Article II shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.

The delivery by the Borrower of a Borrowing Request and the acceptance by the Borrower of the funds from the related Borrowing on any Advance Date shall be deemed to constitute, as of any such Advance Date, as the case may be, a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the conditions in this Section 3.02 have been satisfied.
ARTICLE IV.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section 4.01. Representations and Warranties of the Borrower. To induce each Lender to make Advances from time to time and the Administrative Agent to take any action required to be performed by it hereunder, the Borrower makes the following representations and warranties to each Lender and the Administrative Agent on the Restatement Effective Date, each Reinvestment Date and each Advance Date, each and all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
(a) Existence; Compliance with Law.

Since the Borrower’s date of formation, the Borrower has not been known as or used any fictitious or trade name. In addition, Schedule 4.01(b) lists the federal employer identification number of the Borrower.
(c) Power, Authorization, Enforceable Obligations. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Agreement and the other Related Documents to which it is a party, and the creation and perfection of all Liens and ownership interests provided for herein and therein: (i) are within the Borrower’s limited liability company power; (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary or proper actions; (iii) do not contravene any provision of the Borrower’s certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement; (iv) do not violate any law or regulation, or any order or decree of any court or Governmental Authority; (v) do not conflict with or result in the breach or termination of, constitute a default under or accelerate or permit the acceleration of any performance required by, any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower or any other Transaction Party is a party or by which the Borrower or any of the property of the Borrower or any other Transaction Party is bound; (vi) except as set forth in the Related Documents, do not result in the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim upon any of the property of the Borrower or any other Transaction Party; and (vii) do not require the consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or any other Person, except those which have been duly obtained. The exercise by each of the Borrower, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent of any of its rights and remedies under any Related Document to which it is a party do not require the consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or any other Person, except those which will have been duly obtained. Each of the Related Documents to which the Borrower is a party shall have been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and each such Related Document shall then constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in proceeding in equity or law).
(d) No Litigation. No Litigation is pending or, to the actual knowledge of the Borrower, overtly threatened in writing against the Borrower that (i) challenges the Borrower’s right or power to enter into or perform any of its obligations under the Related Documents to which it is a party, or the validity or enforceability of any Related Document or any action taken thereunder, (ii) seeks to prevent the transfer, sale, pledge or contribution of any Receivable or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement or the other Related Documents, or (iii) is reasonably likely to be adversely determined and, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(e) Solvency. After giving effect to the sale or contribution of Receivables and the Advances to be made on such date and to the application of the proceeds therefrom, the Borrower is and will be Solvent.
(f) Material Adverse Effect.

Since the date of the Borrower’s formation, no event has occurred with respect to the Borrower that alone or together with other events could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(g) Ownership of Property; Liens. None of the properties and assets (including the Transferred Receivables) of the Borrower are subject to any Adverse Claims other than Permitted Encumbrances not attaching to Transferred Receivables, and there are no facts, circumstances or conditions known to the Borrower that may result in (i) with respect to the Transferred Receivables, any Adverse Claims (including Adverse Claims arising under environmental laws) and (ii) with respect to its other properties and assets, any Adverse Claims (including Adverse Claims arising under environmental laws) other than Permitted Encumbrances. The Borrower has received all assignments, bills of sale and other documents, and has duly effected all recordings, filings and other actions necessary to establish, protect and perfect the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Receivables and its other properties and assets. No effective financing statement or other similar instrument is of record in any filing office listing the Borrower or any Originator as debtor and covering any of the Transferred Receivables or other Borrower Collateral except with respect to the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder, and the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.01 are and will be at all times fully perfected first priority Liens in and to the Transferred Receivables and other Borrower Collateral.
(h) Ventures, Subsidiaries and Affiliates; Outstanding Stock and Indebtedness. The Borrower has no Subsidiaries, and is not engaged in any joint venture or partnership with any other Person. The Borrower has no Investments in any Person other than Permitted Investments. The Member is the only member of the Borrower. There are no outstanding rights to purchase or options, warrants or similar rights or agreements pursuant to which the Borrower may be required to issue, sell, repurchase or redeem some or all of its membership interests. Other than the Subordinated Loans, the Debt outstanding under this Agreement and Debt in respect of netting services, overdraft protections and otherwise in connection with its deposit accounts that is incurred in the ordinary course of business, the Borrower has no outstanding Debt on the Restatement Effective Date.
(i) Taxes. All tax returns, reports and statements, including information returns, required by any Governmental Authority to be filed by the Borrower have in each case been filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority and all Charges have been paid prior to the date on which any fine, penalty, interest or late charge may be added thereto for nonpayment thereof (or any such fine, penalty, interest, late charge or loss has been paid), excluding Charges or other amounts being contested in accordance with Section 5.01(e), unless the failure to file any such return, report or statement, or the failure to pay any such charges or fine, penalty, interest, late charge or loss, could reasonably not be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(j) Full Disclosure. All information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender or any other Lender in connection with this Agreement or any other Related Document when taken as a whole is true and accurate in every material respect, and no such information contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made.

Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) each Transaction Party and each ERISA Affiliate is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA and of the Code relating to Plans; (ii) no Reportable Event or non-exempt Prohibited Transaction has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Plan; (iii) there has been no determination that any Single Employer Plan is, or is expected to be, in “at risk” status (within the meaning of Section 430 of the Code or Section 303 of ERISA); (iv) no Lien in favor of the PBGC or any Single Employer Plan has been imposed upon any Transaction Party or any ERISA Affiliate that remains unsatisfied; (v) no Transaction Party and no ERISA Affiliate has received from the PBGC or a plan administrator any notice relating to an intention to terminate any Single Employer Plan or to appoint a trustee to administer any Single Employer Plan under Section 4042 of ERISA; (vi) no Transaction Party and no ERISA Affiliate has incurred any Withdrawal Liability that remains unsatisfied; and (vii) no Transaction Party and no ERISA Affiliate has received any notice concerning the imposition of Withdrawal Liability or any determination that a Multiemployer Plan is, or is expected to be, Insolvent, in Reorganization, terminated or in “endangered” or “critical” status (within the meaning of Section 432 of the Code or Section 305 of ERISA).
(l) Brokers. No broker or finder acting on behalf of the Borrower was employed or utilized in connection with this Agreement or the other Related Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and the Borrower has no obligation to any Person in respect of any finder’s or brokerage fees in connection therewith.
(m) Margin Regulations. The Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin security,” as such terms are defined in Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board as now and from time to time hereafter in effect (such securities being referred to herein as “Margin Stock”). The Borrower owns no Margin Stock, and no portion of the proceeds of the Advances made hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Debt that was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any other purpose that might cause any portion of such proceeds to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board. The Borrower will not take or permit to be taken any action that might cause any Related Document to violate any regulation of the Federal Reserve Board.
(n) Nonapplicability of Bulk Sales Laws. No transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Related Documents requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law.
(o) Government Regulation. The Borrower is not required to be registered an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. The Borrower is not a “covered fund” under Section 13 of the U.S. Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder (the “Xxxxxxx Rule”). In determining that the Seller is not a “covered fund” under the Xxxxxxx Rule, although other exemptions or exclusions under the Investment Company Act may apply, the Borrower relies on the exemption from the definition of “investment company” set forth in Section 3(c)(5) of the Investment Company Act and does not rely solely on the exemption from the definition of “investment company” set forth in Section 3(c)(1) and/or 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.
(p) Nonconsolidation. The Borrower has at all times operated and conducted its affairs in accordance with Section 5.01(i).
(q) Deposit and Disbursement Accounts. Schedule 4.01(q) lists all banks and other financial institutions at which the Borrower maintains deposit or other bank accounts as of the Restatement Effective Date, including any Account, and such schedule correctly identifies the name, address and telephone number of each depository, the name in which the account is held, a description of the purpose of the account, and the complete account number therefor. Each Account constitutes a deposit account within the meaning of the applicable UCC. The Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) has delivered to the Administrative Agent a fully executed Collection Account Agreement with respect to each Collection Account (other than, prior to the date of the initial Advance hereunder, the EFT/CC Account). No Account is in the name of any person other than the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, other than the EFT/CC Account. The Borrower has not consented to any Bank following the instructions of any Person other than the Administrative Agent. Accordingly, the Administrative Agent has a first priority perfected security interest in each Account, and all funds on deposit therein.
(r) Transferred Receivables.
(i) Transfers. Each Transferred Receivable was purchased by or contributed to the Borrower on the relevant Transfer Date pursuant to the Sale Agreement.
(ii) Eligibility. Each Transferred Receivable designated as an Eligible Receivable in each Report constitutes an Eligible Receivable as of the date specified in such Report.
(iii) No Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower has no actual knowledge of any fact (including any defaults by the Obligor thereunder on any other Receivable) that would cause it or should have caused it to expect that any payments on any Transferred Receivable designated as an Eligible Receivable in any Report will not be paid in full when due.
(iv) Nonavoidability of Transfers. The Borrower shall (1) have purchased each Sold Receivable from the applicable Originator for cash consideration or with the proceeds of a Subordinated Loan and (2) have accepted assignment of any Eligible Receivables transferred pursuant to clause (b) of Section 4.04 of the Sale Agreement, in each case in an amount that constitutes fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value therefor. No Sale has been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by any Originator to the Borrower and no such Sale is or may be avoidable or subject to avoidance under any bankruptcy laws, rules or regulations.
(s) Assignment of Interest in Related Documents. The Borrower’s interests in, to and under the Receivables Sale and Servicing Agreement and each Originator Support Agreement, if any, have been assigned by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of itself and the Lenders) as security for the Borrower Obligations.
(t) Notices to Obligors. Each Obligor of Transferred Receivables has been directed to remit all payments with respect to such Receivables for deposit in a Lockbox or Collection Account.
(u) Representations and Warranties in Other Related Documents. Each of the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in the Related Documents (other than this Agreement) is true and correct in all material respects and the Borrower hereby makes each such representation and warranty to, and for the benefit of, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent as if the same were set forth in full herein.
(v) Supplementary Representations.
(i) Receivables; Accounts. (A) Each Transferred Receivable constitutes an “account” or a “general intangible” within the meaning of the applicable UCC, and (B) each Account constitutes a “deposit account” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.
(ii) Creation of Security Interest. The Borrower owns and has good and marketable title to the Transferred Receivables, Accounts and Lockboxes, free and clear of any Adverse Claim other than Permitted Encumbrances. The Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Transferred Receivables, Accounts and Lockboxes in favor of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties), which security interest is prior to all other Adverse Claims and is enforceable as such as against any creditors of and purchasers from the Borrower.
(iii) Perfection. (A) The Borrower has caused the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law and entered into Account Agreements in order to perfect the sale of the Transferred Receivables from the Originators to the Borrower pursuant to the Sale Agreement and the security interest granted by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties) in such Receivables hereunder; and (B) With respect to each Account, the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties), a fully executed Account Agreement (other than, prior to the date of the initial Advance hereunder, the EFT/CC Account) pursuant to which the applicable Bank has agreed to comply with all instructions given by the Administrative Agent with respect to all funds on deposit in the Accounts and the related Lockboxes, without further consent by the Borrower, the Servicer or any Originator.
(iv) Priority. Other than (x) the transfer of Receivables by the Originators to the Borrower pursuant to the Sale Agreement, (y) the grant of security interest by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties) in any such Transferred Receivables and (z) such other security interests granted or incurred by the Originators on any Receivables that are released automatically upon the transfer thereof to the Borrower, the Accounts and the Lockboxes hereunder, neither the Borrower nor any Originator has pledged, assigned, sold, conveyed, or otherwise granted a security interest in any of the Transferred Receivables, the Accounts and the Lockboxes to any other Person. Neither the Borrower nor any Originator has authorized, or is aware of, any filing of any financing statement against the Borrower or any Originator that include a description of collateral covering the Transferred Receivables or any other Borrower Collateral, other than any financing statement filed pursuant to the Sale Agreement and this Agreement or financing statements that have been validly terminated or amended prior to the Closing Date or in respect of which the related security interest is released automatically upon the transfer of the related property to the Borrower. As of the Closing Date, the Borrower does not have actual knowledge of any judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against either the Borrower or any Originator. None of the Accounts or Lockboxes is in the name of any Person other than the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Neither the Borrower, the Servicer or any Originator has consented to any Bank complying with instructions of any person other than the Administrative Agent.
(v) Survival of Supplemental Representations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Related Document, the representations contained in this Section 4.01(v) and Section 5.01(f) shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date.
(w) Independent Manager. As of the date hereof, Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx of Global Securitization Services, LLC is the Independent Manager of the Borrower and has satisfied each of the criteria to be an “Independent Manager” as set forth in the definition thereof.
(x) U.S. Risk Retention. The final rules (the “U.S. Risk Retention Rules”) implementing the credit risk retention requirements of Section 15G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are inapplicable to the transactions contemplated hereby and the other Related Documents, because such transactions are not a “securitization transaction” within the meaning of the U.S. Risk Retention Rules.
(y) Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering..
(i) Sanctions. No Transaction Party (i) is a Sanctioned Person, (ii) is controlled by or is acting on behalf of a Sanctioned Person or (iii) to the Borrower’s actual knowledge, is under investigation for an alleged breach of Sanctions by a Governmental Authority that enforces Sanctions. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing not more than one (1) Business Day after becoming aware of any breach of this Section 4.01(y).
(ii) Anti-Money Laundering Laws. No Transaction Party is and no Transaction Party has, to its actual knowledge, been under administrative, civil or criminal investigation or received notice from or made a voluntary disclosure to any governmental entity regarding a possible violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws or Anti-Money Laundering Laws.

REMEDIES
REMEDIES
Section 9.01. Actions Upon a Termination Event. If any Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, then, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies granted to it hereunder, under any other Related Document or under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Borrower Obligations or otherwise available to it, all of the following actions:
(a) The Administrative Agent may, without notice to the Borrower except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, (i) charge, offset or otherwise apply amounts payable to the Borrower from the Agent Account, the Concentration Account or any Collection Account against all or any part of the Borrower Obligations or (ii) without limiting the terms of Section 7.05(d), notify any Obligor under any Transferred Receivable or obligors under the Borrower Assigned Agreements of the transfer of the Transferred Receivables to the Borrower and the pledge of such Transferred Receivables or Borrower Assigned Agreements, as the case may be, to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties hereunder and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due to the Borrower thereunder be made directly to the Administrative Agent or any servicer, collection agent or lockbox or other account designated by the Administrative Agent.
(b) The Administrative Agent may (but in no event shall be obligated to) exercise, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, any and all rights and remedies of the Borrower under or in connection with the Borrower Assigned Agreements or the other Borrower Collateral, including any and all rights of the Borrower to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provisions of, the Borrower Assigned Agreements. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall, upon the occurrence of any Event of Servicer Termination, have the right to name any Successor Servicer (including itself) pursuant to Article VIII of the Sale Agreement.
Section 9.02. Actions Upon an Event of Default. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have declared the Facility Maturity Date to have occurred or the Facility Maturity Date, as applicable, shall be deemed to have occurred pursuant to Section 8.01, then the Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Borrower Collateral, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies granted to it hereunder (including any rights under Section 9.01), under any other Related Document or under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Borrower Obligations or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (such rights and remedies to be cumulative and nonexclusive), and, in addition, may take the following actions:
(a) The Administrative Agent may, without notice to the Borrower except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, without limiting the terms of Section 7.05(d), notify any Obligor under any Transferred Receivable or obligors under the Borrower Assigned Agreements of the transfer of the Transferred Receivables to the Borrower and the pledge of such Transferred Receivables or Borrower Assigned Agreements, as the case may be, to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties hereunder and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due to the Borrower thereunder be made directly to the Administrative Agent or any Servicer, Servicer or lockbox or other account designated by the Administrative Agent.
(b) The Administrative Agent may, without notice except as specified below, solicit and accept bids for and sell the Borrower Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or any of the Lenders’ or the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on the Borrower’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any of the Borrower’s premises without charge for such sales at such time or times as the Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary or advisable. The Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, ten days’ notice to the Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Borrower Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Every such sale shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever of the Borrower in and to the Borrower Collateral so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against each Originator, the Borrower, any Person claiming any right in the Borrower Collateral sold through any Originator or the Borrower, and their respective successors or assigns. The Administrative Agent shall deposit the net proceeds of any such sale in the Agent Account and such proceeds shall be applied against all or any part of the Borrower Obligations.
(c) Upon the completion of any sale under Section 9.01(b), the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale on the date thereof, or within a reasonable time thereafter if it shall be impracticable to make immediate delivery, all of the Borrower Collateral sold on such date, but in any event full title and right of possession to such property shall vest in such purchaser or purchasers upon the completion of such sale. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Administrative Agent or by any such purchaser, the Borrower shall confirm any such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to such purchaser all proper instruments of conveyance and transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.
(d) At any sale under Section 9.01(b), any Lender or the Administrative Agent may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability therefor.
Section 9.03. Exercise of Remedies.
(a) No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement and no course of dealing between any Originator, the Borrower or the Servicer, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent or any Lender, on the other hand, shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise have at law or in equity. No notice to or demand on any party hereto shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, or constitute a waiver of the right of the party providing such notice or making such demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Related Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the Related Documents against the Borrower, the Servicer or the Borrower Collateral shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Related Documents for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the Related Documents, (ii) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.07, (iii) the Requisite Lenders from directing the Administrative Agent to take actions expressly contemplated herein (including any action described in the final paragraph of Section 8.01 hereof) or (iv) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable debtor relief law; and provided further that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the Related Documents, then (A) the Requisite Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Article IX and (B) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 11.07, any Lender may, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Requisite Lenders.
Section 9.04. Power of Attorney. On the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower shall execute and deliver a power of attorney substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 9.04 (a “Power of Attorney”). The Power of Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms and all of the Borrower Obligations are indefeasibly paid or otherwise satisfied in full. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent under each Power of Attorney are solely to protect the Liens of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders upon and interests in the Borrower Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent shall not be accountable for any amount other than amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and none of the Administrative Agent’s officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be responsible to the Borrower, any Originator, the Servicer or any other Person for any act or failure to act, except to the extent of damages attributable to their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in any other Related Document to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not exercise any powers pursuant to any Power of Attorney unless an Event of Default, Termination Event or a Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing.

Section 11.06. Successor Administrative Agent.

Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent subject, so long as no Termination Event is continuing, to the Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the resigning the Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the resigning Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if a Lender is willing to accept such appointment, or otherwise shall be a commercial bank or financial institution or a subsidiary of a commercial bank or financial institution which commercial bank or financial institution is organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof.

Section 11.07. Setoff and Sharing of Payments.

Any Lender or holder of any Note exercising a right to set off or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the Borrower Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders or holders shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender’s or holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrower Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount so set off or otherwise received with each other Lender or holder in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Each Lender’s obligation pursuant to this Section 11.07 is in addition to and not in limitation of its obligations to purchase a participation equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Swing Line Loan pursuant to Section 2.01(b). The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (a) any Lender or holder may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Borrower Obligations and may sell participations in such amount so set off to other Lenders and holders and (b) any Lender or holders so purchasing a participation in the Advances made or other Borrower Obligations held by other Lenders or holders may exercise all rights of set off, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or holder were a direct holder of the Advances, and the other Borrower Obligations in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the set-off amount or payment otherwise received is thereafter recovered from the Lender that has exercised the right of set-off, the purchase of participations by that Lender shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored without interest.

Section 12.02. Binding Effect; Assignability.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Borrower may not assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey any of its rights or obligations hereunder or interests herein without the express prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders and the Administrative Agent. Any such purported assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other conveyance by the Borrower without the prior express written consent of the Requisite Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be void.
(b) The Borrower hereby consents to any Lender’s assignment or pledge of, and/or sale of participations in, at any time or times after the Closing Date of the Related Documents, Advances, and any Commitment or of any portion thereof or interest therein, including any Lender’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers or duties thereunder (including, without limitation, an assignment by the Swing Line Lender of all or any portion of its Swing Line Commitment), whether evidenced by a writing or not, made in accordance with this Section 12.02(b). Any assignment by a Lender shall (i) require the execution of an assignment agreement (an “Assignment Agreement”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 12.02(b) or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and acknowledged by, the Administrative Agent and other than in the case of an assignment by a Lender to one of its Affiliates, the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) if a partial assignment, be in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 and, after giving effect to any such partial assignment, the assigning Lender shall have retained Commitments in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000; (iii) require the delivery to the Administrative Agent by the assignee or participant, as the case may be, of any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States tax withholding matters, and (iv) other than in the case of an assignment by a Lender to one of its Affiliates, include a payment to the Administrative Agent by the assignor or assignee Lender of an assignment fee of $3,500. In the case of an assignment by a Lender under this Section 12.02, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would if it were a Lender hereunder. The assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its Commitments or assigned portion thereof from and after the date of such assignment. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any assignment made in accordance with this Section 12.02(b) will give rise to a direct obligation of the Borrower to the assignee and that the assignee shall thereupon be a “Lender” for all purposes. In all instances, each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Commitment. In the event any Lender assigns or otherwise transfers all or any part of a Revolving Note or the Swing Line Note, the Borrower shall, upon the request of such Lender, execute new Revolving Notes or Swing Line Notes in exchange for the Revolving Notes or Swing Line Notes, as the case may be, being assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.02(b), each Lender may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (i) any federal reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board), without notice to Administrative Agent or (ii) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Lender’s Indebtedness or equity securities, by notice to Administrative Agent; provided, however, that no such holder or trustee, whether because of such grant or assignment or any foreclosure thereon (unless such foreclosure is made through an assignment in accordance with the above), shall be entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder and no such Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder.
(c) In addition to the foregoing right, any Lender may, without notice to or consent from the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, (x) grant to an SPV administered by such Lender the option to make all or any part of any Advance that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by such SPV and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans hereunder); (y) assign to an SPV administered by a Lender all or a portion of its rights (but not its obligations) under the Related Documents, including a sale of any Advances or other Borrower Obligations hereunder and such Lender’s right to receive payment with respect to any such Borrower Obligation and (z) sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Related Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Advances); provided, however, that (w) no such option grant, assignment or participation described in sub-clauses (x), (y) or (z) above shall release Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such SPV or participant for such Lender as a party hereto and any costs and expenses (including rating agency fees) relating thereto shall not be a Borrower Obligation, (x) no such SPV or participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Advances hereunder, and none shall be liable to any Person for any obligations of such Lender hereunder (it being understood that nothing in this Section 12.02(c) shall limit any rights the Lender may have as against such SPV or participant under the terms of the applicable option, sale or participation agreement between or among such parties); and (y) no such SPV or holder of any such participation shall be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except actions directly affecting (i) any reduction in the principal amount of, or interest rate or Fees payable with respect to, any Advance in which such holder participates, (ii) any extension of any scheduled payment of the principal amount of any Advance in which such holder participates or the final maturity date thereof, and (iii) any release of all or substantially all of the Borrower Collateral (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Related Documents). Solely for purposes of Sections 2.08, 2.09 and 9.01, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each such sale or participation shall give rise to a direct obligation of the Borrower to the participant or SPV and each such participant or SPV shall be considered to be a “Lender” for purposes of such sections. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the other Lenders and the Administrative Agent towards such Lender under any Related Document shall remain unchanged and none of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (other than the Lender selling a participation or assignment to an SPV) shall have any duty to any participant or SPV and may continue to deal solely with the assigning or selling Lender as if no such assignment or sale had occurred.
(d) Except as expressly provided in this Section 12.02, no Lender shall, as between the Borrower and that Lender, or between the Administrative Agent and that Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of, or granting of participation in, all or any part of the Advances, the Revolving Notes, the Swing Line Note or other Borrower Obligations owed to such Lender.
(e) The Borrower shall assist any Lender permitted to sell assignments or participations under this Section 12.02 as reasonably required to enable the assigning or selling Lender to effect any such assignment or participation, including the execution and delivery of any and all agreements, notes and other documents and instruments as shall be reasonably requested and the participation of management in meetings with potential assignees or participants. The Borrower shall, if the Administrative Agent so requests in connection with an initial syndication of the Commitments hereunder, assist in the preparation of informational materials for such syndication.
(f) A Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower, the Originators, the Parent, the Member, the Servicer and/or the Receivables in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants). Each Lender shall obtain from all prospective and actual assignees or participants confidentiality covenants substantially equivalent to those contained in Section 12.05.
Section 12.03. Termination; Survival of Borrower Obligations.
(a) This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date.
(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Related Document, no termination or cancellation (regardless of cause or procedure) of any commitment made by any Affected Party under this Agreement shall in any way affect or impair the obligations, duties and liabilities of the Borrower or the rights of any Affected Party relating to any unpaid portion of the Borrower Obligations, due or not due, liquidated, contingent or unliquidated or any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination, or any transaction or event, the performance of which is required after the Facility Maturity Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Related Document, all undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of or binding upon the Borrower and all rights of any Affected Party hereunder, all as contained in the Related Documents, shall not terminate or expire, but rather shall survive any such termination or cancellation and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date; provided, that the rights and remedies provided for herein with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Borrower pursuant to Article IV, the indemnification and payment provisions of Article X and Sections 11.05 and 12.05 shall be continuing and shall survive the Termination Date.
Section 12.04. Costs and Expenses. Any action taken by the Transaction Parties under or with respect to any Related Document, even if required under any Related Document or at the request of the Administrative Agent or Requisite Lenders, shall be at the expense of the Transaction Parties, and neither Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required under any Related Document to reimburse Transaction Parties or any Subsidiary of the Transaction Parties therefor except as expressly provided therein. In addition, (a) the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and the other Related Documents (including the reasonable fees and expenses of all of its special counsel, advisors, consultants and auditors retained in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby and advice in connection therewith). The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including the fees, costs and expenses of counsel or other advisors (including environmental and management consultants and appraisers) for advice, assistance, or other representation in connection with:
(i) the forwarding to the Borrower or any other Person on behalf of the Borrower by any Lender of any proceeds of Advances made by such Lender hereunder;
(ii) any amendment, modification or waiver of, consent with respect to, or termination of this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents or advice in connection with the administration hereof or thereof or their respective rights hereunder or thereunder;
(iii) any Litigation, contest or dispute (whether instituted by the Borrower, any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Person as a party, witness, or otherwise) in any way relating to the Borrower Collateral, any of the Related Documents or any other agreement to be executed or delivered in connection herewith or therewith, including any Litigation, contest, dispute, suit, case, proceeding or action, and any appeal or review thereof, in connection with a case commenced by or against the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Person that may be obligated to any Lender or the Administrative Agent by virtue of the Related Documents, including any such Litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action arising in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby during the pendency of one or more Termination Events;
(iv) any attempt to enforce any remedies of a Lender or the Administrative Agent against the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Person that may be obligated to them by virtue of any of the Related Documents, including any such attempt to enforce any such remedies in the course of any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby during the pendency of one or more Termination Events;
(v) any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby during the pendency of one or more Termination Events; and
(vi) efforts, during the continuation of a Termination Event, to (A) evaluate, observe or assess the Originators, the Parent, the Borrower, the Member or the Servicer or their respective affairs, and (B) verify, protect, evaluate, assess, appraise, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any of the Borrower Collateral;
including all reasonable attorneys’ and other professional and service providers’ fees arising from such services, including those in connection with any appellate proceedings, and all reasonable expenses, costs, charges and other fees incurred by such counsel and others in connection with or relating to any of the events or actions described in this Section 12.04, all of which shall be payable, on demand, by the Borrower to the applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such reasonable expenses, costs, charges and fees may include: fees, costs and expenses of accountants, environmental advisors, appraisers, investment bankers, management and other consultants and paralegals; court costs and expenses; photocopying and duplication expenses; court reporter fees, costs and expenses; long distance telephone charges; air express charges; telegram or facsimile charges; secretarial overtime charges; and reasonable expenses for travel, lodging and food paid or incurred in connection with the performance of such legal or other advisory services.
Section 12.05. Confidentiality.
(a) Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law or as required to be filed publicly with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or unless the Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent in writing, the Borrower agrees to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement (and all drafts hereof and documents ancillary hereto), in its communications with third parties other than any Affected Party or any Indemnified Person and otherwise not to disclose, deliver or otherwise make available to any third party (other than its directors, officers, employees, accountants or counsel) the original or any copy of all or any part of this Agreement (or any draft hereof and documents ancillary hereto) except to an Affected Party or an Indemnified Person or any financial institution party to the Credit Agreement.
(b) The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender severally agrees that it shall not (and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to) issue any news release or make any public announcement pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Related Documents without the prior written consent of the Borrower, the Requisite Lenders and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless such news release or public announcement is required by law, in which case the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and/or any Lender, as the case may be, shall consult with the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and any Lenders specifically referenced therein prior to the issuance of such news release or public announcement.
(c) The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), and will not use such confidential Information for any purpose or in any matter except in connection with this Agreement, except that Information may be disclosed (1) to (i) each Affected Party (ii) its and each Affected Party’s and their respective Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and to not disclose or use such Information in violation of Regulation FD (17 C.F.R. § 243.100-243.103)) and (iii) industry trade organizations for inclusion in league table measurements, (2) any regulatory authority (it being understood that it will to the extent reasonably practicable provide the Borrower with an opportunity to request confidential treatment from such regulatory authority), (3) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (4) to any other party to this Agreement, (5) to the extent required in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Related Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (6) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of (or participant in), or any prospective assignee of (or participant in), any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (7) with the consent of the Borrower or (8) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or any other confidentiality agreement to which it is party with the Borrower or the Parent or any subsidiary thereof or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Parent or any subsidiary thereof. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower, the Servicer, the Parent, the Ultimate Parent or any Affiliate thereof relating to the Borrower, the Servicer, the Parent, the Ultimate Parent or any Affiliate thereof or their businesses, or any Obligor, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, the Servicer, the Parent, the Ultimate Parent or any Affiliate thereof. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
(d) Each Transaction Party consents to the publication by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any press releases, tombstones, advertising or other promotional materials relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using such Transaction Party’s name, product photographs, logo or trademark.

Section 12.06. Entire Agreement; Release; Survival.

IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT, THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN (UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY STATED IN SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR SUCH TERMS OF SUCH OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS ARE NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF LAW, IN WHICH CASE SUCH TERMS SHALL GOVERN TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO COMPLY THEREWITH).
(b) Execution of this Agreement by the Transaction Parties constitutes a full, complete and irrevocable release of any and all claims which each Transaction Party may have at law or in equity in respect of all prior discussions and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the other Related Documents. In no event shall any Indemnified Party be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). Each of Borrower and each other Transaction Party signatory hereto hereby waives, releases and agrees (and shall cause each other Transaction Party to waive, release and agree) not to xxx upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.
(c) (i) Any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 12.06 and Section 12.04, and Article XI and Article XIII and (ii) the provisions of the Sale Agreement that expressly survive termination thereof, in each case, shall (x) survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of all Borrower Obligations and (y) with respect to clause (i) above, inure to the benefit of any Person that at any time held a right thereunder (as an Indemnified Party or otherwise) and, thereafter, its successors and permitted assigns.
Section 12.07. Amendments and Waivers.
(a) Except for actions expressly permitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Note, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and by the Requisite Lenders or, to the extent required under clause (b) below, by all affected Lenders and the Swing Line Lender, and, to the extent required under clause (b) or clause (c) below, by the Administrative Agent. Except as set forth in clause (b) below, all amendments, modifications, terminations or waivers requiring the consent of any Lenders without specifying the required percentage of Lenders shall require the written consent of the Requisite Lenders.
(b) • No amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender directly affected thereby, do any of the following: (1) increase the principal amount of any Lender’s Commitment; (2) reduce the principal of, rate of interest on or Fees payable with respect to any Advance made by any affected Lender; (3) extend any scheduled payment date or final maturity date of the principal amount of any Advance of any affected Lender; (4) waive, forgive, defer, extend or postpone any payment of interest or Fees as to any affected Lender; (5) change the percentage of the Aggregate Commitments or of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount which shall be required for Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder; (6) release all or substantially all of the Borrower Collateral; (7) change the definition of “Borrowing Base” or any defined term used for purposes of calculating the Borrowing Base or (8) amend or waive this Section 12.07 or the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” insofar as such definition affects the substance of this Section 12.07. Furthermore, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective to the extent that it (x) affects the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Related Document unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, or (y) affects the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement or modifies or amends any other provision of this Agreement or any other Related Document relating the Swing Line Loan, Swing Line Advances or the Swing Line Lender unless in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender.
(i) Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be required for the Administrative Agent to take additional Borrower Collateral pursuant to any Related Document. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(c) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all affected Lenders, the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described this clause (i) or in clause (ii) below being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at the Borrower’s request the Administrative Agent, or a Person acceptable to the Administrative Agent, shall have the right with the Administrative Agent’s consent and in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lenders, and such Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Administrative Agent or such Person, all of the Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Advances held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest and Fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement.
(d) Upon the Administrative Agent’s written confirmation of payment in full in cash and performance of all of the Borrower Obligations (other than contingent, unasserted indemnification provisions in respect of provisions that expressly survive the terms hereof), termination of the Aggregate Commitment and a release of all claims against the Administrative Agent and Lenders, and so long as no suits, actions, proceedings or claims are pending or threatened against any Indemnified Person asserting any damages, losses or liabilities that are Indemnified Liabilities, the Lien of the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be automatically released and the Borrower shall be released from its obligations hereunder and under the other Related Documents (except to the extent any such obligation is intended to survive such termination) and the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower termination statements and other documents necessary or appropriate to evidence the termination of the Liens securing payment of the Borrower Obligations and hereby authorizes the Borrower to prepare and file any such termination statements on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties.
Section 12.08. No Waiver; Remedies. The failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, at any time or times, to require strict performance by the Borrower or the Servicer of any provision of this Agreement, any Receivables Assignment or any other Related Document shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of any Lender or the Administrative Agent thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance herewith or therewith. Any suspension or waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall not suspend, waive or affect any other breach or default whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether the same or of a different type. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of the Borrower or the Servicer contained in this Agreement, any Receivables Assignment or any other Related Document, and no breach or default by the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder or thereunder, shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by any Lender or the Administrative Agent unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer of or other duly authorized signatory of the applicable Lenders and the Administrative Agent and directed to the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, specifying such suspension or waiver. The rights and remedies of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Related Documents shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies that the Lenders and the Administrative Agent may have hereunder, thereunder, under any other agreement, by operation of law or otherwise. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Lenders shall be obligated to exhaust its recourse to or any remedy related to the Borrower Collateral prior to its enforcement of its rights and remedies against the Borrower hereunder. No course of dealing between the Transaction Parties, any Affiliate of the Transaction Parties, the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be effective to amend, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents.
Section 12.09. Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a) Governing Law. The laws of the State of New York shall govern all matters arising out of, in connection with or relating to this Agreement, including, without limitation, its validity, interpretation, construction, performance and enforcement (including, without limitation, any claims sounding in contract or tort law arising out of the subject matter hereof and any determinations with respect to post-judgment interest).

The parties hereto (and, to the extent set forth in any other Related Document, each other Transaction Party) hereby irrevocably waive any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, that any of them may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such jurisdictions.

Section 12.14. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. No Secured Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any Property in favor of any Transaction Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any Borrower Obligation. To the extent that any Secured Party receives a payment from Borrower, from any other Transaction Party, from the proceeds of the Collateral, from the exercise of its rights of setoff, any enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in whole or in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not occurred.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to any Person not a party to this Agreement or the other Related Documents.
Section 12.16. Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act hereby notifies the Transaction Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Transaction Party, which information includes the name and address of each Transaction Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Transaction Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.
Section 12.17. Creditor-Debtor Relationship. The relationship between the Administrative Agent and each Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. No Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Transaction Party arising out of or in connection with, and there is no agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship between the Secured Parties and the Transaction Parties by virtue of, any Related Document or any transaction contemplated therein.
Section 12.18. Amendment and Restatement. The parties hereto agree that as of the Restatement Effective Date, the terms and conditions of the Existing Receivables Funding and Administration Agreement shall be and hereby are amended, superseded, and restated in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

Section 12.19. Release. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and confirms on its own behalf and any Person claiming by or through the Borrower (collectively, the “Releasors”), that (i) it does not have any grounds, and hereby agrees not to challenge, in any case, based upon acts or omissions of any Indemnified Person occurring prior to the date hereof or facts otherwise known to it as of the date hereof, the effectiveness, genuineness, validity, collectability or enforceability of the Related Documents and (ii) it does not possess, and hereby unconditionally and forever waives, remises, releases, discharges and holds harmless each Indemnified Person, from and against, and agrees not to allege or pursue, any action, cause of action, suit, debt, liability, loss, expense, claim, counterclaim, cross-claim, demand, defense, offset, opposition, demand and other right of action whatsoever, whether now known or unknown, past or present, asserted or unasserted, contingent or liquidated, whether in law, equity or otherwise, which any of the Releasors ever had, now have, may have, or claim to have against any of the Indemnified Persons, by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, with respect to events or omissions occurring or arising on or prior to the date hereof and relating to the Related Documents.
ARTICLE XIII.
TAXES
Section 13.01. Taxes.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 13.01, each payment by any Transaction Party under any Related Document shall be made free and clear of all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and all liabilities with respect thereto (and without deduction for any of them) (collectively, but excluding Excluded Taxes, the “Taxes”).
(b) If any Taxes shall be required by any Requirement of Law to be deducted from or in respect of any amount payable under any Related Document to any Secured Party (i) such amount shall be increased as necessary to ensure that, after all required deductions for Taxes are made (including deductions applicable to any increases to any amount under this Section 13.01), such Secured Party receives the amount it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the relevant Transaction Party shall make such deductions, (iii) the relevant Transaction Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iv) within 30 days after such payment is made, the relevant Transaction Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(c) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay, and authorize the Administrative Agent to pay in their name, any stamp, documentary, excise or property tax, charges or similar levies imposed by any applicable Requirement of Law or Governmental Authority and all Liabilities with respect thereto (including by reason of any delay in payment thereof), in each case arising from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Related Document or any transaction contemplated therein (collectively, “Other Taxes”). The Swing Line Lender may, without any need for notice, demand or consent from the Borrower, by making funds available to the Administrative Agent in the amount equal to any such payment, make a Swing Loan to the Borrower in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be used by the Administrative Agent in whole to make such payment. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Transaction Party, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 12.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(d) The Borrower shall reimburse and indemnify, within 30 days after receipt of demand therefor (with copy to the Administrative Agent), each Secured Party for all Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 13.01) paid by such Secured Party and any Liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. A certificate of the Secured Party (or of the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Secured Party) claiming any compensation under this clause (d), setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrower with copy to the Administrative Agent, shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error. In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent and such Secured Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
(e) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 13.01 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if such a change would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
(f) Each U.S. Lender Party shall (A) on or prior to the date such U.S. Lender Party becomes a “U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (B) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (C) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (f) and (D) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender Party is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax) or any successor form. Each Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations or identified an SPV as such to the Administrative Agent shall collect from such participant or SPV the documents described in this clause (f) and provide them to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender that is not a U.S. Lender Party shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an applicable Form W-8.
Section 13.02. Certificates of Lenders. Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation pursuant to this Article XIII shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.
