(ii) Records. On or prior to each Purchase Date, Seller will have caused its records (including electronic ledgers) relating to each Related Receivable to be conveyed by it on such Purchase Date to be clearly and unambiguously marked to reflect that such Related Receivable was conveyed by it to Purchaser and pledged by Purchaser to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

Section 3.2 Repurchase upon Breach. Seller shall inform Purchaser and the Administrative Agent promptly, in writing, upon the discovery of any breach of Seller’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to a Receivable conveyed to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.1(a) above. Unless the breach shall have been cured by the last day of the second Collection Period following the discovery thereof by or notice to Purchaser and/or the Administrative Agent of such breach, Seller shall repurchase any Receivable if such Receivable is materially and adversely affected by the breach as of the last day of such second Collection Period (or, at Seller’s option, the last day of the first Collection Period following discovery). In consideration of the repurchase of any Receivable, Seller shall remit the Receivable Repurchase Price to the Collection Account on the date of such repurchase. Upon the deposit of the Receivable Repurchase Price in respect of any Defective Receivables into the Collection Account, Purchaser shall cause the Custodian to release to Seller or its designee the related Receivable Files and Purchaser shall execute and deliver all reasonable instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, as are prepared by Seller and delivered to Purchaser and necessary to vest in Seller or such designee title to such Defective Receivables. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties shall have the right to enforce directly against Seller the repurchase obligations of Seller pursuant to this Section 3.2. The sole remedies of Purchaser, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to any Receivables as to which a breach of representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.1 has occurred shall be to enforce Seller’s obligation to repurchase such Receivables pursuant to this Section 3.2 and Seller’s indemnity provided by Section 5.3(a).
