Business Day prior to any such proposed reduction. Such Reduction Notice shall designate (i) the date (the “Proposed Reduction Date”) upon which any such reduction of Aggregate Invested Amount shall occur, and (ii) the amount of Aggregate Invested Amount to be reduced (the “Aggregate Reduction”) which shall be applied to all Receivable Interests (ratably, according to each Purchaser’s aggregate Invested Amount).
Section 1.4 Deemed Collections; Purchase Limit.
1.If on any day:
a.the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced or cancelled as a result of any credit issued for returned or repossessed goods, any shortages, any pricing adjustment, any volume rebate or any other allowance, adjustment or deduction by any Originator or any Affiliate thereof, or as a result of any governmental or regulatory action, or
b.the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff or disputed item in respect of any claim by the Obligor thereof (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related or an unrelated transaction), or
c.the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced on account of the obligation of any Originator or any Affiliate thereof to pay to the related Obligor any rebate or refund, or
d.the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is less than the amount included in calculating the Net Pool Balance for purposes of any Settlement Report (for any reason other than receipt of Collections or such Receivable becoming a Defaulted Receivable), or
e.any of the representations or warranties of Seller with respect to any Receivable set forth in Article V were not true when made,
then, on such day, Seller shall be deemed to have received a Collection of such Receivable (A) in the case of clauses (i) through (iv) above, in the amount of such reduction or cancellation or the difference between the actual Outstanding Balance and the amount included in calculating such Net Pool Balance, as applicable; and (B) in the case of clause (v) above, in the amount of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and, not later than one (1) Business Day thereafter shall pay to the Collection Account the amount of any such Collection deemed to have been received in the same manner as actual cash collections are distributed under the terms of this Agreement.
2.Seller shall ensure that the Aggregate Invested Amount at no time exceeds the Purchase Limit. If at any time the Aggregate Invested Amount exceeds the Purchase Limit, Seller shall pay to each Purchaser Agent for the benefit of the related Purchasers immediately an amount to be applied to reduce the Aggregate Invested Amount (ratably, according to each Purchaser’s aggregate Invested Amount), such that after giving effect to such payment the Aggregate Invested Amount is less than or equal to the Purchase Limit.
IX-3
or otherwise funded by Reliant Trust for the Calculation Period then most recently ended in accordance with Article II.
Section 3.4 Default Rate. From and after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, all Receivable Interests shall accrue Yield at the Default Rate.
ARTICLE IV.
BANK RATE FUNDINGS
Section 4.1 Bank Rate Fundings. Prior to the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the portion of outstanding Invested Amount of each Receivable Interest funded with Bank Rate Fundings shall accrue Yield for each day during its Interest Period at the applicable Yield Rate in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. If any undivided interest in a Receivable Interest initially funded with Commercial Paper is sold (or otherwise participated) to the Liquidity Providers pursuant to a Liquidity Agreement, such undivided interest in such Receivable Interest shall be deemed to have an Interest Period commencing on the date of such sale.
Section 4.2 Yield Payments. On the Settlement Date for each Receivable Interest that is funded with a Bank Rate Funding, Seller shall pay to each applicable Purchaser Agent (for the benefit of its Purchaser Group) an aggregate amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Yield thereon for the entire Interest Period of each related Bank Rate Funding in accordance with Article II.
Section 4.3 [Reserved].
Section 4.4 Suspension of the LIBO Rate. (a) If any Purchaser or Liquidity Provider notifies the related Purchaser Agent that it has determined that funding its ratable share of the Bank Rate Fundings at or by reference to a LIBO Rate would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive of any governmental or regulatory authority, whether or not having the force of law, or that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund its Bank Rate Funding at or by reference to such LIBO Rate are not available or (ii) such LIBO Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of acquiring or maintaining a Bank Rate Funding at such LIBO Rate, then such Purchaser Agent shall give notice thereof to the Seller by telephone, facsimile or email as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until such Purchaser Agent notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (a) no portion of the Invested Amount shall be funded at the LIBO Rate or at the Alternate Base Rate determined by reference to the LIBO Rate and (b) the Yield for any outstanding portions of the Invested Amount then funded at the LIBO Rate or at the Alternate Base Rate determined by reference to the LIBO Rate shall, on the last day of the then current Interest Period, be converted to the Alternate Base Rate determined by reference to clause (a)(ii) of the definition of the Alternate Base Rate.
(b) If at any time (i) the Administrator determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error) or any Purchaser Agent notifies the Administrator that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate (including,
IX-4
without limitation, because the LIBO Rate is not available or published on a current basis) and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Rate or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Administrator or any other Purchaser Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the LIBO Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, or (iii) any applicable interest rate specified herein is no longer a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in the United States syndicated loan market in the applicable currency, then the Administator and the Seller shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest (the “Replacement Rate”) to the LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13.1 of this Agreement, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrator shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date notice of the Replacement Rate is provided to the Purchaser Agents, a written notice from the Required Purchaser Agents stating that such Required Purchaser Agents object to such amendment. Until the Replacement Rate is determined (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 4.4(b), only to the extent the LIBO Rate for such period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (a) no portion of the Invested Amount shall be funded at the LIBO Rate or at the Alternate Base Rate determined by reference to the LIBO Rate and (b) the Yield for any outstanding portions of the Invested Amount then funded at the LIBO Rate or at the Alternate Base Rate determined by reference to the LIBO Rate shall, on the last day of the then current Interest Period, be converted to the Alternate Base Rate determined by reference to clause (a)(ii) of the definition of the Alternate Base Rate. Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of the Replacement Rate shall provide that in no event shall such Replacement Rate be less than zero for the purposes of this Agreement. To the extent the Replacement Rate is approved by the Administrator in connection with this clause, the Replacement Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided, that, in each case, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrator, the Replacement Rate shall be applied as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrator (it being understood that any such modification by the Administrator shall not require the consent of, or consultation with, any of the Purchaser Agents).
Section 4.5 Default Rate. From and after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, all Bank Rate Fundings shall accrue Yield at the Default Rate.
Section 4.6 Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.
i.Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrator and the Seller may amend this Agreement to replace the LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrator has posted such proposed
IX-5
amendment to all Purchaser Agents and the Seller so long as the Administrator has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Purchaser Agents comprising the Required Purchaser Agents.
Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Purchaser Agents comprising the Required Purchaser Agents have delivered to the Administrator written notice that such Required Purchaser Agents accept such amendment. No replacement of the LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 4.6 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.
1.Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrator will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.
2.Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrator will promptly notify the Seller and the Purchaser Agents of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrator or Purchaser Agents pursuant to this Section 4.6, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 4.6.
3.Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Seller’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Seller may revoke any Purchase Request. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) the component of the Bank Rate based upon the LIBO Rate will not be used in any determination of the Bank Rate and (ii) the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon the LIBO Rate will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate.
ARTICLE V.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section 5.1 Representations and Warranties of the Seller. The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser, as to itself, as of
IX-6
the date hereof and as of the date of each Incremental Purchase and the date of each Reinvestment that:
(a) Organization and Qualification. The Seller’s only jurisdiction of organization is correctly set forth in the preamble of this Agreement. The Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation. The Seller is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the ownership of its properties or the nature of its activities (including transactions giving rise to Receivables), or both, requires it to be so qualified or, if not so qualified, the failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
(b) Authority. The Seller has the legal power and authority to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents, to make the sales provided for herein and to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
(c) Execution and Binding Effect. Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Seller is a party has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Seller and (assuming the due and valid execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereto), constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar Laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general principles of equity, and will vest absolutely and unconditionally in the Administrator (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) a valid undivided security interest in the Receivables purported to be assigned thereby, subject to no Liens whatsoever. Upon the filing of the necessary financing statements under the UCC as in effect in the jurisdiction whose Law governs the perfection of the Administrator’s (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) ownership and security interests in the Receivables, such interests will be perfected under Article 9 of such UCC, prior to and enforceable against all creditors of and purchasers from the Seller and all other Persons whatsoever (other than the Administrator, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and their successors and assigns).
(d) Authorizations and Filings. No authorization, consent, approval, license, exemption or other action by, and no registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any Official Body is or will be necessary or, in the opinion of the Seller, advisable in connection with the execution and delivery by the Seller of each of the Transaction Documents to which the Seller is a party, the consummation by the Seller of the transactions herein or therein contemplated or the performance by the Seller of or the compliance by the Seller with the terms and conditions hereof or thereof, to ensure the legality, validity or enforceability hereof or thereof, or to ensure that the Administrator (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) will have an ownership and security interest in and to the Receivables which is perfected and prior to all other Liens (including competing ownership or security interests), other than the filing of financing statements under the UCC in the jurisdiction of the Seller’s Location and of theeach Originator’s Location.
IX-7
(m) Margin Regulations. The use of all funds acquired by the Seller under this Agreement will not conflict with or contravene any of Regulations T, U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as the same may from time to time be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified.
(n) Taxes. The Seller has timely filed all United States Federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns which are required to be filed by it and has paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns and paid or contested any assessment received by the Seller related to such returns.
(o) Books and Records. The Seller has indicated on its books and records (including any computer files), that the Receivable Interest in the Receivables sold by the Seller hereunder is the property of Purchasers. The Seller maintains at, or shall cause the Servicer to maintain at, one or more of their respective offices listed in Exhibit III hereto the complete Records for the Receivables.
(p) Creditor Approval. The Seller has obtained from its creditors (i) all approvals necessary to sell and assign the Receivables and (ii) releases of any security interests in the Receivables.
(q) Financial Condition. The Seller is not insolvent or the subject of any Event of Bankruptcy and the sale of Receivables on such day will not be made in contemplation of the occurrence thereof.
(r) Financial Information. If and when produced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the consolidated balance sheet of the Seller as at the most recent Fiscal Year end and the related statements of income of the Seller for the Fiscal Year then ended, fairly present the consolidated financial position of the Seller as at such date and the consolidated results of the operations, all in accordance with GAAP.
(s) Investment Company, Etc. The Seller is neither (i) an “investment company” or a company “controlled by an investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), nor (ii) 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. In determining that the Seller is not a covered fund, the Seller is entitled to rely on the exemption from the definition of “investment company” set forth in Section 3(c)(5) of the Investment Company Act.
(t) Payments to Applicable Originator. With respect to each Receivable transferred to Seller under the Receivables Sale Agreement, Seller has given reasonably equivalent value to the applicableApplicable Originator in consideration therefor and such transfer was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt. No transfer by any Originator of any Receivable under the Receivables Sale Agreement is or may be voidable under any section of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.), as amended.
IX-8
(c) No Liens. Each Receivable, together with the related Contract and all purchase orders and other agreements related to such Receivable, is owned by the Seller free and clear of any Lien, except as provided herein, and is not subject to any Dispute, except as provided herein. When each of the Purchasers makes a purchase of a Receivable Interest in such Receivable, it shall have acquired and shall continue to have maintained an undivided percentage ownership interest to the extent of its percentage of the Receivable Interest in such Receivable and in the Related Security and the Collections with respect thereto free and clear of any Lien, except as provided herein. The Seller has not and will not prior to the time of the sale of any such interest to the Purchasers have sold, pledged, assigned, transferred or subjected, and will not thereafter sell, pledge, assign, transfer or subject, to a Lien any of the Receivables, the Related Security or the Collections, other than the assignment of Receivable Interests therein to the Administrator, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(d) Filings. On or prior to each Purchase and each recomputation of the Receivable Interest, all financing statements and other documents required to be recorded or filed in order to perfect and protect the Receivable Interest against all creditors of and purchasers from the Seller and all other Persons whatsoever will have been duly filed in each filing office necessary for such purpose and all filing fees and taxes, if any, payable in connection with such filings shall have been paid in full.
(e) Credit and Collection Policy. The Originator’s Credit and Collection Policy of the applicableApplicable Originator has been complied with in all material respects in regard to each Receivable and related Contract.
(f) Collection Banks, Collection Accounts and Lock-Boxes. The names and addresses of all Collection Banks, together with the numbers of all Collection Accounts and Lock-Boxes at such Collection Banks and the addresses of all related Collection Accounts and Lock-Boxes, are specified in the Account Disclosure Letter (or such other Collection Banks, Collection Accounts and Lock Boxes that have been changed or established in accordance with Section 7.2(g)).
(g) Nature of Receivables. Each Receivable is, or will be, an eligible asset within the meaning of Rule 3a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended from time to time.
(h) Bona Fide Receivables. Each Receivable is an obligation of an Obligor arising out of a past, current or future sale or performance by the applicableApplicable Originator, in accordance with the terms of the Contract giving rise to such Receivable. The Seller has no knowledge of any fact that should have led it to expect at the time of the initial creation of an interest in any Receivable hereunder that such Receivable would not be paid in full when due except with respect to any Dilution. Each Receivable classified as an “Eligible Receivable” by the Seller in any document or report delivered hereunder satisfies the requirements of eligibility contained in the definition of Eligible Receivable.
IX-9
Section 7.2 Negative Covenants of the Seller. Until the date on which the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly paid in full and this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, the Seller hereby covenants, as to itself, that it will not:
(a) No Rescissions or Modifications. Rescind or cancel any Receivable or related Contract or modify any terms or provisions thereof or grant any Dilution to an Obligor, except in accordance with the applicableApplicable Originator’s Credit and Collection Policy or otherwise with the prior written consent of the Administrator and the Required Purchaser Agents, unless such Receivable has been deemed collected pursuant to Section 1.4(a) or repurchased pursuant to the Receivables Sale Agreement.
(b) No Liens. Cause any of the Receivables or related Contracts, or any inventory or goods the sale of which give rise to a Receivable, or any Lock-Box or Collection Account or any right to receive any payments received therein or deposited thereto, to be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred or to be subject to a Lien, other than the sale and assignment of the Receivable Interest therein to the Administrator, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and the Liens created in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(c) Consolidations, Mergers and Sales of Assets. (i) Consolidate or merge with or into any other Person, (ii) undertake any division of its rights, assets, obligations, or liabilities pursuant to a plan of division or otherwise pursuant to applicable law or (iii) sell, lease or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any other Person.
(d) No Changes. Make any change in the character of its business, which change would materially impair the collectibility of any Receivable, without prior written consent of the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent, or change its name, identity or corporate structure in any manner which would make any financing statement or continuation statement filed in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-507(c) of the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable Laws unless it shall have given the Administrator (which shall promptly forward a copy to each Purchaser Agent) at least 45 days’ prior written notice thereof and unless prior thereto it shall have caused such financing statement or continuation statement to be amended or a new financing statement to be filed such that such financing statement or continuation statement would not be seriously misleading.
(e) Capital Stock. Issue any capital stock except to ABDC. The Seller shall not pay any dividends to ABDC if such payment would be prohibited under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
(f) No Indebtedness. Incur any Indebtedness other than as permitted under this Agreement.
IX-10
(k) Administrative and Operating Procedures. The Servicer shall maintain and implement administrative and operating procedures adequate to permit the identification of the applicable Receivables and all collections and adjustments attributable thereto and shall comply in all material respects with the Applicable Originator’s Credit and Collection Policy in regard to each applicable Receivable and related Contract.
(l) Modification of Systems. The Servicer agrees, promptly after the replacement or any material modification of any computer, automation or other operating systems (in respect of hardware or software) used to perform its services as Servicer or to make any calculations or reports hereunder, to give notice of any such replacement or modification to the Administrator (which shall promptly forward a copy to each Purchaser Agent).
(m) Litigation.

IX-34
insolvency or other similar law, or any law or order of any government or agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect the Guaranteed Obligations shall impair, affect, be a defense to or claim against the obligations of Performance Guarantor under this Undertaking.

Section 10. Setoff.

Section 11. Taxes. All payments to be made by Performance Guarantor hereunder shall be made free and clear of any deduction or withholding. If Performance Guarantor is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of tax or otherwise from any such payment, the sum due from it in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, Recipient receive a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no deduction or withholding been made.
