This RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of March 1, 1994 by and between YAMAHA MOTOR RECEIVABLES CORPORATION, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, as purchaser (in such capacity, the "Purchaser"), and YAMAHA MOTOR CORPORATION, U.S.A., INC. ("Yamaha"), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, as seller (in such capacity, the "Seller").
B A C K G R O U N D:
The following statements are the mutual representations of the parties with respect to certain factual matters forming the basis for this Agreement and are an integral part of this Agreement.
A. Receivables. Pursuant to a Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of March 1, 1994 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, the "Receivables Sale Agreement"), between Yamaha, as purchaser, and ITT Commercial Finance Corp., a Nevada corporation ("ITT"), as seller thereunder, Yamaha will own, among other things, all of ITT's right, title and interest in, to and under all receivables (collectively, the "Receivables") arising out of all wholesale motorized equipment financing accounts (collectively, the "Accounts") established by ITT with respect to wholesale financing arrangements with domestic dealers or manufacturers which have entered into dealer or other purchaser agreements with Yamaha to sell products manufactured by Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Corporation of America or Yamaha Motor Company, Ltd. (collectively, the "Dealers"). The Receivables include the rights to payment of money (whether characterized as "accounts", "chattel paper" or "general intangibles", each as defined in Article 9 of the UCC) arising in each Account received on or after January 31, 1994 (the "Cut-Off Date"). The Accounts include (i) the wholesale motorized equipment financing accounts so indicated on Schedule I hereto referred to below (collectively, the "Initial Accounts") and (ii) all wholesale motorized equipment financing accounts that will become Accounts following the creation thereof by ITT.
B. Sale of Receivables. The parties hereto desire that the Seller sell the Receivables in the Initial Accounts to the Purchaser, together with all Receivables arising out of all Accounts created after the Initial Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Purchaser shall transfer the Receivables in the Accounts sold to the Purchaser by the Seller to the Yamaha Motor Master Trust (the "Trust").
C. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in that certain Master Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 1994 (as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect, the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), by and among the Purchaser, in its capacity as transferor thereunder, Yamaha, in its capacity as servicer thereunder, and The Fuji Bank and Trust Company, in its capacity as Trustee.
A G R E E M E N T:
The parties, each in consideration of the promises of the other and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Sale of the Receivables.
(a) By execution of this Agreement, the Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse (except as specifically provided herein), all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables in each Account and all Product Security with respect thereto, now existing and hereafter created and wherever located, all monies due or to become due with respect thereto (including Recoveries) on and after the Cut-Off Date and all proceeds thereof. The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment, set-over and conveyance does not constitute, and is not intended to result in, a creation or an assumption by the Purchaser of any obligation of the Seller or any other Person in connection with the Accounts, the Receivables or under any agreement or
instrument relating thereto, including, without limitation, any obligation to any Dealer and any affiliate thereof or insurers.
(b) In connection with such sale, the Seller agrees to record and file, at its own expense, any financing statements (and continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) with respect to the Receivables now existing and hereafter created for the transfer of accounts meeting the requirements of Relevant UCC State law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables by the Purchaser to the Purchaser and the transfer of the Receivables to the Trust, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or other evidence of such filings to the Trustee on or prior to the date of issuance of the Series 1994-1 Class A Asset-Backed Certificates issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Series 1994-1 Supplement, respectively. The Purchaser shall be under no obligation whatsoever to file such financing statements or make any other filings under the UCC in connection with such conveyance. The Trustee and the Purchaser shall be entitled to rely upon the filings made by the Seller.
(c) In connection with such sale, the Seller further agrees, at its own expense, on or prior to the Initial Closing Date, (x) to indicate in its books and records that all Receivables created in connection with the Accounts have been sold to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, (y) to deliver to the Purchaser and the Trustee a computer file or microfiche list containing a true and complete list of all such Accounts, specifying for each such Account, as of the Cut-Off Date, its account number and the aggregate amount of Receivables outstanding in such Account and (z) within twenty (20) Business Days of any request by the Trustee or the Purchaser, as the case may be, deliver to the Purchaser and the Trustee a new computer file or microfiche list containing a true and complete list of all Accounts identified as described in the preceding clause (y). Such files or lists shall be marked as Schedule I to this Agreement, which is, as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.
(d) The Purchaser shall not purchase Receivables if the Seller shall become an involuntary party to (or be made the subject of) any proceeding provided for by any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other debtor relief law (an "Involuntary Case"), other than as creditor or claimant, and such Involuntary Case shall have continued for a period of ten (10) Business Days from and including the day of receipt by the Seller of notice of such Involuntary Case. During such 10-Business Day period, the Purchaser shall suspend its purchase of Receivables hereunder and shall hold all Principal Collections that would have been available to purchase Receivables in the Collection Account (if such deposits would otherwise have been required to be made pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and (a) if, by the first Business Day after such 10-Business Day period, the Purchaser has not obtained an order from the court having jurisdiction of such case or filing which order approves the continuation of the sale of Receivables hereunder by the Seller to the Purchaser and which provides that the Purchaser and the Trustee may rely on such order for the validity and nonavoidance of such transfer (the "Order"), the Purchaser shall hold such Collections in such Collection Account (if so required) until such time as they may be paid to holders of the Certificates and shall not purchase Receivables thereafter for transfer to the Purchaser, or (b) if by such first Business Day, the Purchaser has obtained such Order, the Seller may continue selling Receivables, and the Purchaser may continue purchasing Receivables, pursuant to the terms hereof, as modified by the immediately succeeding sentence. During the period after the 10-Business Day period described above and before the 90-day period following such filing, the purchase price of the Receivables transferred during such period, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the contrary, shall be paid to the Seller by the Purchaser in cash not later than the same Business Day of any sale of Receivables. If an Order is obtained but subsequently reversed, rescinded or expired, the Seller shall immediately cease selling Receivables hereunder to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall immediately cease buying Receivables hereunder. If by the first Business Day after such 90-day period, such
2
Involuntary Case has not been dismissed, the Purchaser shall immediately cease purchasing Receivables hereunder.
(e) The Purchaser shall not purchase Receivables hereunder if the Seller shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they are due, or the commencement by the Seller of a voluntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter in effect, or any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or the consent by the Seller to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestator or other similar official of the Seller or of any substantial part of its property or the making by the Seller of an assignment for the benefit of creditors or the failure by the Seller generally to pay its debts as such debt becomes due or the taking of corporate action by the Seller in furtherance of any of the foregoing.
SECTION 2. Purchase Price. Except as provided in Section 3, the purchase price for the Receivables sold to the Purchaser under this Agreement (the "Purchase Price"), shall be a dollar amount equal to (1) with respect to Receivables together with the related Product Security in the Initial Accounts, the product of 98.5% (which reflects the aging status and funding costs of the Receivables in, and an arm's length return to, the Purchaser, mutually agreed by both parties) and the aggregate unpaid balance of the Receivables on the Cut-Off Date in respect of the Initial Accounts and (2) with respect to additional Receivables created in the Initial Accounts, 98.5% (as such price may be adjusted by the Purchaser in good faith based on increases in charge-offs, increases in the weighted average Certificate Rate for all Series, increases in Servicing Fees or decreases in Recoveries, or subsequently adjusted downward based on decreases in such items or increases in Recoveries), minus an arm's length return to the Purchaser mutually agreed by both parties and the aggregate unpaid balance of all additional Receivables thereafter created in the Accounts.
SECTION 3. Capital Contribution. $167,983,513 of the Receivables sold as of the Initial Closing Date are to be conveyed by the Seller to the Purchaser as a capital contribution to the Purchaser.
SECTION 4. Payment of Purchase Price on the Initial Closing Date and Thereafter. The Purchase Price for Receivables shall be paid or provided for on the Initial Closing Date and from time to time thereafter as new Receivables are created in either of the following ways: (i) by payment in cash in immediately available funds; or (ii) in the event that the total Purchase Price is not paid in full in cash by the Purchaser on the Initial Closing Date or on any date of determination thereafter, the Seller shall convey the principal amount of such cash shortfall as a capital contribution to the Purchaser.
SECTION 5. Adjustments to Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be adjusted (a "Credit Adjustment") with respect to any Receivable adjusted as provided in Section 3.8(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. To the extent that the Purchaser is required thereunder to pay to the Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the amount required to be paid to the Servicer thereunder.
SECTION 6. Settlement and Ongoing Payment of Purchase Price. On each Distribution Date under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a settlement statement in substantially the form of Exhibit A (the "Settlement Statement"), showing the aggregate Purchase Price of Receivables conveyed to the Purchaser during the prior Collection Period, and the amount which remains unpaid as Credit Adjustments made with respect to such prior Collection Period pursuant to Section 5 hereof. Any balance due from the Purchaser to the Seller shall be paid in immediately available funds or the Seller shall convey such amount as a capital contribution to the Purchaser and any balance due from the Seller to the Purchaser shall be paid in immediately available funds.
SECTION 7. Acceptance and Agreement by the Purchaser.
(a) The Purchaser hereby acknowledges its acceptance of all right, title and interest to the property described in Section I(a) hereof. The Purchaser further acknowledges that, prior to or
3
simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller delivered to the Purchaser and the Trustee the computer file or microfiche list described in clause (y) of Section 1(c) hereof.
(b) The Purchaser hereby agrees not to disclose to any Person any of the account numbers or other information contained in the computer files or microfiche lists marked as Schedule I delivered to the Purchaser by the Seller pursuant to Section 1(c) or Section 10(b) hereof, except as may be required by law or to a Successor Servicer appointed pursuant to Section 10.2 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Purchaser agrees to take such measures as shall be reasonably requested by the Seller to protect and maintain the security and confidentiality of such information, and, in connection therewith, shall allow the Seller to inspect the Purchaser's security and confidentiality arrangements from time to time during normal business hours. The Purchaser shall make reasonable efforts to provide the Seller with written notice five (5) Business Days prior to any disclosure pursuant to this Section 7(b) and shall cooperate with the Seller to seek any protective order and confidentiality agreement the Seller deems necessary or advisable.
(c) It is the intention of the Seller and the Purchaser that the transfer of the Receivables and the related Product Security contemplated herein constitute an absolute assignment and sale of such Receivables and related Product Security from the Seller to the Purchaser and not a transfer for security. However, in the event that such transfer is not characterized as an absolute assignment and sale, but rather as a transfer for security, then the Seller hereby grants the Purchaser a security interest in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables and the related Product Security now existing and hereafter created, all monies due and to become due with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof as security for the obligations of the Seller hereunder. The parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under the law in effect in the Relevant UCC State.
(d) The Purchaser shall maintain net worth (exclusive of any interest of the Purchaser in the Transferor Interest) at an amount equal to at least the greater of $18,292,682 or 10% of the Trust Principal Component.
SECTION 8. Representations and Warranties of the Seller Relating to the Seller and the Agreement. The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser as of the Initial Closing Date and each date on which new Accounts are created and Receivables arising therein are sold to the Purchaser that:
(a) Organization and Good Standing. The Seller is a corporation duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of California and has, in all material respects, full corporate power, authority and legal right to own its properties and conduct its business as such properties are presently owned and such business is presently conducted, and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.
(b) Due Qualification. The Seller is duly qualified to do business and, where necessary, is in good standing as a foreign corporation (or is exempt from such requirement) and has obtained all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business requires such qualification except where the failure to so qualify or obtain licenses or approvals would not have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations hereunder, and has full corporate power, authority and legal right to own its properties and conduct its business as such properties are presently owned and such business is presently conducted.
(c) Due Authorization. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions provided for or contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by the Seller by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Seller.
(d) No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof, will not conflict with, result in any breach of any of the material terms and provisions of, or
4
constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a material default under, any indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, or other instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which it or its properties are bound.
(e) No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof applicable to the Seller, will not conflict with or violate any material Requirements of Law applicable to the seller.
(f) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or, to the best knowledge of the Seller, investigations, pending or threatened against the Seller, before any Governmental Authority (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment of the Seller, would materially and adversely affect the performance by the Seller of its obligations under this Agreement, (iv) seeking any determination or ruling that would materially and adversely affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or (v) seeking to affect adversely the income tax attributes of the Trust under the United States Federal or any State income, single business or franchise tax systems.

(h) Enforceability. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general, and except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (whether such enforceability is considered in a suit at law or in equity).
(i) Record of Accounts. As of the Initial Closing Date, in the case of Initial Accounts, as of any date on which new Accounts are created and Receivables arising therein are sold to the Purchaser and, as of the applicable Removal Date, in the case of Removed Accounts, Schedule I to this Agreement is an accurate and complete listing in all material respects of all the Accounts as of the Cut-Off Date, any date on which Receivables arising in new Accounts are sold to the Purchaser or the applicable Removal Date, as the case may be, and the information contained therein with respect to the identity of such Accounts and the Receivables existing thereunder is true and correct in all material respects as of such applicable date.
(j) Valid Sale and Transfer. This Agreement constitutes a valid sale, transfer and assignment to the Purchaser of all right, title and interest of the Seller in, to and under the Receivables and the related Product Security, whether now existing or hereafter created, together with all monies due and to become due with respect thereto, and all proceeds thereof. Upon the filing of the financing statements described in Section 1(b) with the Secretary of State of the State of California and, in the case of the Receivables hereafter created and the proceeds thereof upon the creation thereof, the Purchaser shall have a first priority perfected ownership interest in such property. Except as otherwise provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, neither the Seller nor any Person claiming through or under the Seller has any claim to, or interest in, the Trust Assets.
The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 8 shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Purchaser. Upon discovery by the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other party.
5
In the event of any breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 8 and if, in connection therewith, the Purchaser shall be obligated to purchase the Certificateholders', Interest pursuant to Section 2.4(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Seller shall repurchase the Receivables and the related Product Security and shall pay to the Purchaser on the Business Day preceding the Distribution Date on which such purchase of the Certificateholders' Interest is to be made an amount equal to the purchase price for the Certificateholders' Interest as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The obligation of the Seller to repurchase the Receivables pursuant to this Section 8 shall constitute the sole remedy against the Seller respecting an event of the type specified in the first sentence of this Section 8 available to the Purchaser and to the Investor Certificateholders (or the Trustee on behalf of the Investor Certificateholders).
SECTION 9. Representations and Warranties of the Seller Relating to the Receivables.
(a) Representations and Warranties. The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that:
(i) Each Receivable existing on the Initial Closing Date has been conveyed, and each Receivable created after the Initial Closing Date in an Account will be conveyed, to the Purchaser free and clear of any Lien.
(ii) With respect to each Receivable and all related Product Security existing on or created after the Initial Closing Date, all consents, licenses, approvals or authorizations of or registrations or declarations with any Governmental Authority required to be obtained, effected or given by the Seller in connection with the conveyance of such Receivable or Product Security to the Purchaser have been duly obtained, effected or given and are in full force and effect.
(iii) On each date on which Receivables arising in an Account are sold to the Purchaser hereunder, such Account is an Eligible Account.
(iv) On each date on which Receivables arising in an Account are sold to the Purchaser, each Receivable conveyed to the Purchaser on such date is an Eligible Receivable or, if such Receivable is not an Eligible Receivable, such Receivable is conveyed to the Purchaser in accordance with Section 8.
(b) Notice of Breach. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 9 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Purchaser. Upon discovery by the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 9, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other party.
(c) Reassignment. In the event any representation or warranty under Section 9(a) is not true and correct as of the date specified therein with respect to any Receivable or Account and the Purchaser is, in connection therewith, required to purchase such Receivable or all Receivables in such Account pursuant to Section 2.4(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then, within sixty (60) days (or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Purchaser) of the earlier to occur of the discovery of any such event by the Seller or the Purchaser, or receipt by the Seller or the Purchaser of written notice of any such event given by the Trustee, the Seller shall repurchase the Receivable or Receivables of which the Purchaser is required to accept reassignment pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement on the Business Day preceding the Determination Date on which such repurchase is to occur.
The Seller shall purchase each such Receivable by making a payment to the Purchaser in immediately available funds on the Business Day preceding the Distribution Date on which such repurchase is to occur in an amount equal to the Purchase Price for such Receivable. Upon payment of the Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall automatically and without further action be deemed to sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Seller, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest of the Purchaser in, to and under such Receivable, all related
6
Product Security and all monies due or to become due with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof. The Purchaser shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Seller to effect the conveyance of such Receivables pursuant to this Section 9(c). The obligation of the Seller to repurchase any such Receivable shall constitute the sole remedy respecting the event giving rise to such obligation available to the Purchaser and to the Certificateholders (or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders).
(d) Notice of Breach. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 9 shall survive the transfer and assignment of the Receivables and the proceeds thereof to the Trust. Upon discovery by the Seller or Purchaser of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 9, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other party and to the Trustee.
SECTION 10. [Reserved.]
SECTION 11. Repurchase of Ineligible Receivables.
(a) Automatic Removal. In the event of a breach with respect to a Receivable of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 9(b)(iii), or in the event that a Receivable is not an Eligible Receivable as a result of the failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in clause (iv) of the definition of an Eligible Receivable, and either of the following conditions is met:
(i) the Lien upon the subject Receivable (1) ranks prior to the Lien created pursuant to this Agreement, (2) arises in favor of the United States of America or any state or any agency or instrumentality thereof or involves taxes or liens arising under Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or (3) has been consented to by the Sellers; or
(ii) the Lien on the subject Receivable is not of the types described in clause (i) above, and as a result of such breach or event such Receivable becomes a Receivable in a Defaulted Account or the Purchaser's or the Trust's rights in, to or under such Receivable or its proceeds are materially impaired or the proceeds of such Receivable are not available for any reason to the Trust free and clear of any Lien except Liens permitted pursuant to Section 12(b);
then, upon the earlier to occur of the discovery of such breach or event by the Seller, the Servicer or the Purchaser or receipt by the Seller of written notice of such breach or event given by the Trustee, each such Receivable or, at the option of the Purchaser, all such Receivables with respect to the related Account shall be automatically removed from the Trust and repurchased by the Seller on the terms and conditions set forth below in Section 11(c).
(b) Removal after Cure Period. In the event of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 9(b)(i), (ii), (iv) or (v) with respect to a Receivable (other than in the event that a Receivable is not an Eligible Receivable as a result of the failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in clause (iv) of the definition of Eligible Receivable), and as a result of such breach or event such Receivable becomes a Receivable which is not an Eligible Receivable, the Account related to such Receivable becomes a Defaulted Account or the Trust's or the Purchaser's rights in, to or under such Receivable or its proceeds are materially impaired or the proceeds of such Receivable are not available for any reason to the Trust or the Purchaser free and clear of any Lien (other than Liens permitted pursuant to Section 12(a)), then, upon the expiration of sixty (60) days or any longer period agreed upon by the Trustee and the Purchaser (not to exceed an additional sixty (60) days) from the earlier to occur of the discovery of any such event by the Purchaser or the Servicer, or receipt by the Purchaser or the Servicer of written notice of any such event given by the Trustee, each such Receivable or, at the option of the Purchaser or the Trustee, all such Receivables with respect to the related Account, shall be removed from the Trust and repurchased by the Seller on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 11(c); provided, however, that no such removal shall be required to be made if, on any day within such applicable period, (i) such representations and warranties with respect to such Receivable
7
shall then be true and correct in all material respects as if such Receivable had been created on such day, and (ii) such Receivable is an Eligible Receivable, the related Account is no longer a Defaulted Account as the result of the breach of such representation and warranty (including those implied by law), and the Trust's and the Purchaser's rights in, to or under such Receivable or its proceeds are no longer impaired as the result of the breach of such representation and warranty, and the proceeds of such Receivable have become available to the Trust and the Purchaser free and clear of all Liens which caused the breach of such representation or warranty, as applicable.
(c) Removal Terms and Conditions. When required or permitted with respect to a Receivable (an "Ineligible Receivable") by the provisions of Section 11(a) or Section 11(b) above, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the balance of such Receivable within two (2) Business Days of the date on which such Receivable became an Ineligible Receivable. Any such payment in connection with the reassignment of an Ineligible Receivable shall be considered a payment in full of the Ineligible Receivable. Upon the reassignment to the Seller of an Ineligible Receivable, the Purchaser shall, without further action, be deemed to sell, assign, set-over and otherwise convey to the Seller, without recourse, representation or warranty (including those implied by law), all the right, title and interest of the Purchaser in, to and under such Ineligible Receivable, all monies due or to become due with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof. The Purchaser shall execute such documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such other actions as shall reasonably be requested by the Seller to effect the conveyance of such Ineligible Receivable pursuant to this Section and as shall be specified in an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Purchaser to the effect that such documents and instruments comply herewith. In the event that on any day within sixty (60) days, or any longer period agreed upon by the Trustee (not to exceed an additional sixty (60) days), of the date on which the repurchase of an Ineligible Receivable pursuant to this Section 11 is effected, (i) the applicable representations and warranties with respect to such Receivable shall be true and correct in all material respects on such date and (ii) the Receivable is an Eligible Receivable, the Account corresponding to the Receivable is no longer a Defaulted Account as the result of the breach of such representation and warranty and the proceeds of such Receivable are available to the Trust and the Purchaser free and clear of all Liens which caused the breach of such representation and warranty, or (iii) the Seller has cured the breach of the representation or warranty, as applicable, the Seller may, but shall not be required to, reconvey such Receivable to the Purchaser. Upon reconveyance of a Receivable pursuant to this Section 11, the Seller shall have been deemed to have made the applicable representations and warranties in Section 9(b) as of the date of such addition, as if the Receivable had been created on such date, and shall execute all such necessary documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such other actions as shall be necessary to effect and perfect the reconveyance of such Receivable to the Purchaser. The obligation of the Seller set forth in this Section 11, or the repurchase of such Receivable by the Seller from the Purchaser, as the case may be, shall constitute the sole remedy respecting any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in the above-referenced Sections with respect to such Receivable available to the Purchaser, the Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11, a reassignment of an Ineligible Receivable shall not occur if the Seller fails to make the deposit required by this Section 11 with respect to such Ineligible Receivable.
(d) No Impairment. For the purposes of Sections 11(a) and 11(b) and above, proceeds of a Receivable shall not be deemed to be impaired hereunder solely because such proceeds are held by the Servicer for more than the applicable period under Section 9-306(3) of the UCC as in effect in the Relevant UCC State.
(e) Reassignment of Trust Portfolio. In the event of (1) a breach of any of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 8(a) or Section 9(a) or (2) a material amount of Receivables are not Eligible Receivables, and in either case such event has a materially adverse effect on the Purchaser or
