CONVEYANCES OF TRANSFERRED ASSETS

SECTION 2.1 Conveyances.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Seller agrees to (i) Convey to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Seller on the Closing Date (the “Initial Conveyance”), all of the Seller’s right, title and interest (whether now owned or hereinafter acquired or arising, and wherever located) in and to each Transferred Asset listed on Schedule A to this Agreement (as such schedule may be amended, supplemented, updated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Schedule of Collateral Assets”), together with all other Related Security and all proceeds of the foregoing but excluding the Retained Interests (if any) for such Collateral Asset.

(b) After the Initial Conveyance in the event that, from time to time, the Seller agrees to Convey to the Purchaser and the Purchaser agrees to acquire from the Seller additional Collateral Assets (including Related Security), the Purchaser shall provide a Reinvestment Request containing substantially the same information (each, a “Purchase Notice”), designating the date of the proposed Conveyance (a “Subsequent Conveyance Date”) and attaching a supplement to the Schedule of Collateral Assets identifying the Transferred Assets proposed to be Conveyed. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, the Seller shall Convey to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase, on the applicable Subsequent Conveyance Date (each such purchase and sale being herein called a “Subsequent Conveyance”), all of the Seller’s right, title and interest (whether now owned or hereinafter acquired or arising, and wherever located) in and to each Collateral Asset then reported by the Purchaser on the Schedule of Collateral Assets attached to the related Purchase Notice, together with all other Related Security and all proceeds of the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, Schedule A, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, shall automatically be deemed to update any previously delivered Schedule A without the need for action or consent on the part of any Person.

(c) Collateral Assets will be acquired pursuant to one or more assignment agreements in the form specified in the applicable Underlying Instruments having an effective date as specified in such assignment agreement. From and after each Subsequent Conveyance Date, the Collateral Asset Conveyed on such Subsequent Conveyance Date shall be deemed added to the Schedule of Collateral Assets on Schedule A to this Agreement.

(d) It is the express intent of the Seller and the Purchaser that each Conveyance of Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement be construed as an absolute sale and/or contribution of such Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser providing the Purchaser with the full risks and benefits of ownership of such Transferred Assets as of the applicable Purchase Date. Further, it is not the intention of the Seller and the Purchaser that any Conveyance be deemed a grant of a security interest in the Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Conveyances hereunder shall be characterized as

-4-

loans and not as sales and/or contributions, then (i) this Agreement also shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC and other applicable law, (ii) the Conveyances by the Seller provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be, and the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a perfected, first-priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in, to and under all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, such Transferred Assets and all proceeds of the foregoing and (iii) the Purchaser and the Seller each represents and warrants as to itself that each remittance (if any) from the Purchaser to the Seller with respect to the Conveyances has been (x) in payment of an obligation incurred by the Purchaser in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of each of the Seller and the Purchaser and (y) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of each of the Seller and the Purchaser. The Purchaser and its assignees shall have, with respect to the Transferred Assets, in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Purchaser and its assignees thereunder and under the applicable Underlying Instruments, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC.

The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Transferred Assets to secure a debt or other obligation, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest in favor of the Purchaser under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Seller represents and warrants that the Transferred Assets are being transferred with the intention of removing them from the Seller’s estate pursuant to Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Purchaser assumes all risk relating to nonpayment or failure by the obligors to make any distributions owed by them under the Transferred Assets. Except with respect to any breach of its representations, warranties and covenants expressly stated in this Agreement, the Seller assigns each Transferred Asset “as is,” and makes no covenants, representations or warranties regarding the Transferred Assets.

(e) In connection with the Initial Conveyance, the Seller agrees to file (or cause to be filed) on or about the Closing Date, at its own expense, a financing statement or statements with respect to the Transferred Assets Conveyed by the Seller hereunder from time to time meeting the requirements of applicable state law in the jurisdiction of the Seller’s organization to perfect and protect the interests of the Purchaser created hereby under the UCC against all creditors of, and purchasers from, the Seller, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or other evidence of such filings to the Purchaser as soon as reasonably practicable after its receipt thereof.

(f) The Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents and take all actions as may be reasonably necessary or as the Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to perfect or protect the interest of the Purchaser in the Transferred Assets Conveyed hereunder or to enable the Purchaser to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller will, in order to accurately reflect the Conveyances contemplated by this Agreement, execute and file such financing or continuation statements or amendments thereto or assignments thereof (as permitted pursuant hereto) or other documents or instruments as may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser and xxxx its master computer records (or related sub-ledger) noting the Conveyance to the Purchaser of the Transferred Assets and the Lien of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Security Agreement. The Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser to file and, to the fullest extent

-5-

permitted by applicable law the Purchaser shall be permitted to sign (if necessary) and file, initial financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto and assignments thereof without the Seller’s signature; provided that the description of collateral contained in such financing statements shall be limited to only Transferred Assets. Carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement.

(g) Each of the Seller and the Purchaser agree that prior to the time of Conveyance of any Collateral Asset hereunder, the Purchaser has no rights to or claim of benefit from any Collateral Asset (or any interest therein) owned by the Seller.

(h) The Transferred Assets acquired, transferred to and assumed by the Purchaser from the Seller shall include the Seller’s entitlement to any surplus or responsibility for any deficiency that, in either case, arises under, out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the foreclosure upon or acceleration of any such Transferred Assets.

(i) Except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement or the Loan Documents, the Seller shall have no right hereunder to reacquire any of the Transferred Assets, and the Purchaser shall be entitled to dispose of any Transferred Assets in its discretion (subject to the Credit Agreement) and shall have no duty or obligation to account to the Seller in respect thereof nor any recourse to the Seller in connection with any such disposition.

(j) Each of the Seller and the Purchaser acknowledges, agrees, represents and warrants that (1) there are no other agreements related to the sale and purchase of the Transferred Assets other than this Agreement and any related Assignment Agreements, (2) this Agreement (along with any related Assignment Agreements) represents the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the transactions subject of and contemplated by this Agreement, (3) this Agreement is not an attempt to hide the true agreement between the parties, and (4) the parties to this Agreement do not and will not depart from its terms with respect to the matters subject hereof.

SECTION 2.2 Indemnification.(a) Without limiting any other rights which any such Person may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Seller agrees to indemnify the Purchaser, the Purchaser’s Affiliates and the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, administrators, managers, advisors, consultants, service providers and representatives and representatives of the Purchaser and of the Purchaser’s Affiliates (each of the foregoing Persons being individually called an “Indemnified Party”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively called “Indemnified Amounts”) incurred by such Indemnified Party by reason of (i) any acts or omissions of the Seller in breach of any of its agreements or covenants under any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) any breach of any representation or warranty in any material respect (or, if qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) on the date such representation or warranty was made of the Seller contained in any Loan Document or in any certification or written material delivered by the Seller pursuant to any Loan Document, excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts (a) to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or its agent or subcontractor, (b) related to the nonpayment by any obligor of an amount due and payable with respect to a Transferred Asset or any change in the market value of any Transferred Asset, (c) related to any loss in value of any Cash Equivalent or (d) in respect of Taxes (other than Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from a non-Tax claim).

-6-

SECTION 2.3 Assignments. It is the intention of the Seller and the Purchaser that this Agreement, the Schedule of Collateral Assets and each Purchase Notice (collectively, the “Transfer Documents”) shall supplement each Assignment Agreement, if any, required to be executed under any Underlying Instrument relating to any Transferred Asset, and that whenever possible, each provision of the Transfer Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under each applicable Underlying Instrument and without replacing or superseding any such Assignment Agreement. However, to the extent that there is a conflict or inconsistency between any provision of any Transfer Document, on the one hand, and any provision of any Assignment Agreement, on the other hand, such Assignment Agreement shall control and prevail to the extent any such conflict or inconsistency would invalidate the sale, transfer and assignment contemplated thereby, without invalidating the remainder of such provision of such Transfer Document or the remaining provisions of the Transfer Documents, and to the extent any provision of any Transfer Document would conflict with the Underlying Instrument applicable to any Transferred Asset in a manner that would invalidate the sale, transfer and assignment contemplated hereby, such Underlying Instrument shall be controlling as to such provision without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of the Transfer Documents. The Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that, solely for administrative convenience, any Transfer Document or Assignment Agreement required to be executed and delivered in connection with the transfer of a Transferred Asset in accordance with the terms of the related Underlying Instruments may reflect that (i) the Seller (or any Affiliate or third party from whom the Seller or the applicable Affiliate may purchase such Transferred Asset) is assigning such Transferred Asset directly to the Purchaser or (ii) the Purchaser is acquiring such Transferred Asset at the closing of such Transferred Asset in which case no Assignment Agreement shall be necessary.

SECTION 2.4 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and any conveyance fees or recording charges (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne by the party upon whom they are assessed. The party required by law to do so shall file all necessary tax returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes and, if required by applicable law, the other parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such tax returns and other documentation.

ARTICLE III

CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT; REPORTING

SECTION 3.1 Purchase Price. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Transferred Assets Conveyed on each Purchase Date shall be a dollar amount equal to the fair market value (as agreed upon between the Seller and the Purchaser at the time of such Conveyance) of such Transferred Assets as of such date.

-7-

SECTION 3.2 Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be paid on the related Purchase Date (a) by payment in cash in immediately available funds and/or (b) to the extent not paid in cash, as a capital contribution by the Seller to the Purchaser in an amount equal to the unpaid portion of the Purchase Price.

(f) Compliance with Laws. The Seller is in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of all Applicable Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its properties.

(g) Tax Status. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Seller will be a U.S. Person.

(h) Place of Business. The principal place of business and chief executive office of the Seller, and the offices where the Seller keeps all its Records, are located at its address specified in Section 8.3, or such other locations notified to the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement in jurisdictions where all action required by the terms of this Agreement has been taken and completed. There are currently no, and during the past four months (or such shorter time as the Seller has been in existence) there have not been, any other locations where the Seller is located (as that term is used in the UCC of the jurisdiction where such principal place of business is located).

(i) Backup Security Interest. In the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Conveyances hereunder shall be characterized as loans and not as sales and/or contributions, then this Agreement creates a valid and continuing Lien on the Transferred Assets in favor of the Purchaser and the Administrative Agent, as assignee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which security interest is validly perfected under Article 9 of the UCC, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from the Borrower; the Transferred Assets are comprised of Instruments, Security Entitlements, General Intangibles, Certificated Securities, Uncertificated Securities, Securities Accounts, Investment Property and Proceeds and such other categories of collateral under the applicable UCC as to which the Seller has complied with its obligations as set forth herein; with respect to Transferred Assets that constitute Security Entitlements (A) all of such Security Entitlements have been credited to the Collection Account and the Securities Intermediary has agreed to treat all assets credited to the Collection Account as Financial Assets, (B) all steps necessary to enable the Collateral Agent to obtain Control with respect to the Collection Account have been taken and (C) the Collection Account is not in the

-9-

name of any Person other than the Purchaser, subject to the Lien of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties; the Purchaser has not instructed the Securities Intermediary to comply with the entitlement order of any Person other than the Collateral Agent; provided that, until the Collateral Agent delivers a Notice of Exclusive Control (as defined in the Account Control Agreement), the Purchaser (or the Servicer on its behalf) may cause cash in the Collection Account to be invested in Cash Equivalents, and the proceeds thereof to be paid and distributed in accordance with the Credit Agreement; all Accounts constitute Securities Accounts; the Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the interest in the Transferred Assets Conveyed to the Purchaser on the applicable Purchase Date, free and clear of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens); the Seller has taken all necessary steps to file or authorize the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable Law in order to perfect the security interest in that portion of the Transferred Assets in which a security interest may be perfected by filing pursuant to Article 9 of the UCC as in effect in the state of Maryland (to the extent such security interest may be perfected by filing a UCC financing statement under such article); all original executed copies of each underlying promissory note constituting or evidencing any Transferred Asset, if any, have been or, subject to the delivery requirements contained in the Credit Agreement, will be delivered to the Collateral Custodian; none of the underlying promissory notes that constitute or evidence the Collateral Assets has any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Purchaser and the Collateral Custodian, as assignee on behalf of the Secured Parties; with respect to a Transferred Asset that constitutes a Certificated Security, such certificated security has been delivered to the Collateral Custodian or, subject to the delivery requirements contained in the Credit Agreement, will be delivered to the Collateral Custodian, as assignee of the Purchaser on behalf of the Secured Parties and, if in registered form, has been specially Indorsed (within the meaning of the UCC) to the Collateral Custodian or in blank by an effective Indorsement or has been registered in the name of the Collateral Custodian upon original issue or registration of transfer by the Seller of such Certificated Security; and in the case of an Uncertificated Security, by (A) causing the Collateral Custodian to become the registered owner of such uncertificated security and (B) causing such registration to remain effective.

No such transfer has been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by the Seller to the Purchaser and, accordingly, no such sale is or may be voidable or subject to avoidance under Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and the rules and regulations thereunder. In addition, no such Conveyance shall have been made with the intent to hinder or delay payment to or defraud any creditor of the Seller.

(k) Eligibility of Transferred Collateral Assets. Each Transferred Collateral Asset Conveyed hereunder is, at the time of such Conveyance, an Eligible Collateral Asset. At the time of such Conveyance, no event has occurred and is continuing which could reasonably be expected to affect the collectibility of such Transferred Collateral Asset or cause it not to be paid in full. As of each Purchase Date, Schedule A is an accurate and complete listing of all the Transferred Collateral Assets and other Transferred Assets hereunder as of such Purchase Date.

-10-

(l) Solvency. The Seller is solvent, it is not the subject of any Insolvency Event and it will not become insolvent after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Seller will have an adequate amount of capital to conduct its business as proposed to be conducted in the foreseeable future and does not expect the commencement of any insolvency, bankruptcy or similar proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator or similar official in respect of its assets. The Seller executed and delivered each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party for fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value and without the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors or any other Person. The Conveyance by the Seller of the Seller’s interest in the Transferred Assets constitutes a reasonable and practicable action in the ordinary course of the Seller’s business..

(m) True Sale or True Contribution. Each Transferred Collateral Asset sold or contributed hereunder shall have been sold or contributed by the Seller to the Purchaser in a “true sale”, “absolute transfer” or a “true contribution.”

Therefore, prior to and as of the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, except as required for tax and consolidated accounting purposes, the Seller has taken all reasonable steps, including all steps that the Purchaser or the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request, to create the Purchaser’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from the Seller and from each other Affiliate of the Seller, and to make it manifest to third parties that the Purchaser is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of the Seller and each other Affiliate thereof and not just a division of the Seller or any such other Affiliate.

(bb) Good Faith, etc. The sale of the Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser is made in good faith and for valuable consideration and not at an undervalue. The sale of the Transferred Assets is for a proper purpose and not willfully to defeat an obligation owed to a creditor.

SECTION 5.1 Covenants of the Seller. The Seller hereby covenants and agrees with the Purchaser that, from the date hereof, and until the termination of this Agreement, unless the Purchaser otherwise consents in writing:

(a) Compliance with Agreements and Applicable Laws. The Seller shall perform each of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and comply in all material respects with the requirements of all Applicable Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its business or property, except in such instances in which such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted.

(b) Maintenance of Existence and Conduct of Business. The Seller shall to the maximum extent permitted pursuant to Applicable Laws, (i) preserve, renew and maintain in full force and effect its legal existence and good standing (if applicable) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, incorporation or registration except in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement and (ii) take all reasonable action to maintain all rights, privileges, permits, licenses and franchises necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of its business, except, in the case of clause (ii), to the extent that failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Seller will observe in all material respects all organizational procedures required by its organizational documents and the laws of its jurisdiction of formation. At least 10 days prior the effective date thereof, the Seller shall provide to the Administrative Agent notice of any change in the name, jurisdiction of organization, organizational structure or location of records of the Seller; provided that the Seller agrees not to effect or permit any change referred to in the preceding sentence unless all filings have been made under the UCC or otherwise that are required in order for the Administrative Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected security interest in all the Collateral.

-15-

(c) Cash Management Systems: Deposit of Collections. The Seller shall transfer, or cause to be transferred, all Collections to the Collection Account or the Unfunded Exposure Account, as applicable, by the close of business on the Business Day following the date such Collections are received by the Seller.

The Seller shall (i) maintain proper books of record and account, in which full, true and correct entries in conformity with the Applicable Accounting Standard consistently applied shall be made of all material financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of the Seller, (ii) maintain all documents, books, records and other information necessary or reasonably advisable and relating to the Transferred Assets prior to their Conveyance hereunder for the collection of all Transferred Assets and (iii) maintain such books of record and account in material conformity with all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having regulatory jurisdiction over the Seller.

(e) Accounting of Purchases. Other than for tax and consolidated accounting purposes, the Seller will not account for or treat the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than as a sale or contribution of the Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser; provided that for federal income tax reporting purposes, the Purchaser is treated as a “disregarded entity” and, therefore, the Conveyance of Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder will not be recognized.

(f) Payment of Obligations. The Seller shall pay and discharge as the same shall become due and payable, all its material obligations and liabilities, including (i) all material tax liabilities, assessments and governmental charges or levies upon it or its properties or assets and (ii) all lawful claims which, if unpaid, would by law become a Lien upon its property, unless, in each case, the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and adequate reserves in accordance with the Applicable Accounting Standard are being maintained by the Seller, except, in each case, to the extent that failure to do so would not constitute an “Event of Default” under Sections 9.01(g), (m) or (n) of the Credit Agreement.

(g) Taxes. The Seller will file or cause to be filed on a timely basis all federal and other material tax returns (including foreign, state, local and otherwise) required to be filed, if any, and will pay all federal and other material taxes due and payable by it and any material assessments made against it or any of its property (other than any amount the validity of which is contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with the Applicable Accounting Standard are provided on the books of the Seller), except where failure to do so would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(h) ERISA. The Seller shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Affiliates to, cause or permit to occur an event that results in the imposition of a Lien on any Transferred Asset under Section 412 of the Code or Section 303(K) or 4068 of ERISA.

(i) Liens. The Seller shall not create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien on or with respect to any of its rights under any of the Loan Documents or on or with respect to any of its rights in the Transferred Assets, in each case other than Permitted Liens and Liens which shall be released at the time of conveyance to the Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.1(i) shall not apply to any property retained by the Seller and not Conveyed or purported to be Conveyed hereunder.

-16-

(j) Change of Name. Etc. The Seller shall not change its name, identity or organizational structure in any manner that would make any financing statement or continuation statement filed by the Seller (or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Seller or the Purchaser) in accordance with Section 2.1(d) seriously misleading or change its jurisdiction of organization, unless the Seller shall have given the Purchaser at least 10 days prior written notice thereof, and shall promptly file appropriate amendments to all previously filed financing statements and continuation statements.

(k) Sale Characterization. The Seller shall not make statements or disclosures, or treat the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than for tax or consolidated accounting purposes) in any manner other than as a true sale, contribution or absolute assignment of the title to and sole record and beneficial ownership interest of the Transferred Collateral Assets (which, with respect to any Related Security, shall only be to the extent of the Seller’s interest therein) Conveyed or purported to be Conveyed hereunder; provided that the Seller may consolidate the Purchaser and/or its properties and other assets for accounting purposes in accordance with GAAP and, provided further that for federal income tax reporting purposes, the Purchaser is treated as a “disregarded entity” and, therefore, the Conveyance of Transferred Assets by the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder will not be recognized for tax purposes.

(l) Commingling. The Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, deposit or permit the deposit of any funds that do not constitute Collections or other proceeds of any Collateral Assets into the Collection Account; provided that nothing in this clause (l) shall prohibit the Seller from making capital contributions to the Borrower.

(m) Separate Identity. The Seller acknowledges that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties are entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Credit Agreement in reliance upon the Purchaser’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from the Seller and each other Affiliate of the Seller. Accordingly, from and after the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller will take all reasonable steps to maintain the Purchaser’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from the Seller and each other Affiliate of the Seller and to make it manifest to third parties that the Purchaser is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of the Seller and each other Affiliate thereof and not just a division of the Seller or any such other Affiliate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to the other covenants set forth herein, the Seller will take all other actions necessary on its part to ensure that the Purchaser is at all times in compliance with Section 5.29 of the Credit Agreement.
