(a)On the Facility Activation Date, the Seller Representative will submit a Portfolio Report to the Purchaser via the PrimeRevenue System, and simultaneously with the submission of such Portfolio Report, each Seller will be deemed to offer to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers), and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1, Section 8.2 and Section 8.2, the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) will be deemed to purchase from each such Seller, without any further action on the part of such Seller, all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all outstanding Eligible Receivables of such Seller specified on such Portfolio Report. On each Business Day following the Facility Activation Date and prior to the Termination Date, each Seller will be deemed to offer to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers), and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.3, the Administrative Agent will be deemed to purchase from each such Seller, without any further action on the part of such Seller, all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all outstanding Eligible Receivables of such Seller that have not previously been acquired (except to the extent that it was acquired and was subsequently the subject of a Deemed Repurchase) in whole by the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) hereunder. The deemed offer by each Seller to sell, assign and transfer all of its right, title and interest in and to all outstanding Eligible Receivables of each such Seller that have not previously been acquired (except to the extent that it was acquired and was subsequently the subject of a Deemed Repurchase) in whole by the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) hereunder is irrevocable and unconditional on the part of each such Seller and shall occur (without any further action by any such Seller) on each Business Day prior to the Termination Date.
(b)Subject to Section 2.2, on each Business Day prior to the Termination Date, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to sell in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to each Purchaser, and each such Purchaser shall be deemed to purchase from the Administrative Agent, without recourse, an undivided percentage ownership interest (each an “Asset Interest”) equal to the Pro Rata Share of such Purchaser in and to each Purchased Receivable deemed purchased by the Administrative Agent on such day in accordance with clause (a) above. The deemed offer by the Administrative Agent to sell and the deemed offer by each Purchaser to purchase such Asset Interests hereunder is irrevocable and unconditional on the part of the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser and shall occur (without any further action by any party) on each Business Day prior to the Termination Date.
Section 2.2.Deemed Repurchase by the Sellers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Administrative Agent does not, on or before 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on a given Settlement Date, receive from the Purchasers the full amount of the expected Payment Amount payable on such Settlement Date, then any positive Payment Amount for such Settlement Date will be reduced to $0 in accordance with the definition thereof, and without any further action on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser or any Seller, the Net Face Value of Billed Receivables acquired by the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) during the immediately preceding Settlement Period will automatically be deemed to be repurchased by the relevant Seller (a “Deemed Repurchase”); provided,
19
that nothing in this Section 2.2 shall cause any Receivables subject to a Deemed Repurchase to be ineligible for future sale by such Seller to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) under Section 2.1.
Section 2.3.Purchase Price. The purchase price (the “Discounted Purchase Price”) for each Purchased Receivable purchased on any given Purchase Date will be calculated as follows:
DPP = NFV – Purchase Discount, in which “Purchase Discount” = NFV x DR x (DP / 360), in which:
Term |
Definition |
“DPP” equals |
Discounted Purchase Price of such Receivable |
“NFV” equals |
Net Face Value of such Receivable as of such Purchase Date |
“DR” equals |
Discount Rate applicable to such Receivable |
“DP” equals |
Discount Period applicable to such Receivable |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to purchase a Receivable for an amount equal to such Receivable’s Net Face Value, as reduced by any amount (including any Accrued Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount) then due and payable by a Seller to the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser hereunder (such amount, the “Adjusted Purchase Price”). In this event an amount equal to the Accrued Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount for such Purchased Receivable will be payable by the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) on each Settlement Date and each Termination Settlement Date until such time as the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount or such Purchased Receivable has been paid in full or is otherwise treated as a Retired Receivable in accordance with the applicable Seller’s accounting practices and procedures. The Sellers (or the Seller Representative) shall not be entitled to set-off its obligation to pay the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount (or any portion thereof) against the Refundable Discount Advance.
With respect to each Purchased Receivable, the Purchase Price thereof shall be payable by the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) to the Seller Representative (on behalf of the relevant Seller) by deposit into the Remittance Account on the Settlement Date immediately following the Settlement Period during which such Purchased Receivable was purchased. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchase Price shall be subject to netting and set-off as provided for under Section 5.6.
Section 2.4.Maximum Funded Amount; Payment Amount; Termination Payment Amount.
(a)On each Settlement Date and Termination Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent shall (by reference to the Portfolio Report received via the PrimeRevenue System by the Administrative Agent on the immediately preceding Reconciliation Date) determine the Maximum Funded Amount, the Payment Amount (in the case of a Settlement Date) or Termination Payment Amount (in the case of a Termination Settlement Date), as applicable, and shall notify the Seller Representative of the same.
(b)Following the determination of the Payment Amount, and in accordance with Section 5.7, on each Settlement Date (x) if the Payment Amount is positive, the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) shall pay the full amount thereof to the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers), and upon payment of such amount, the Administrative Agent’s payment obligations with respect to the Purchased Receivables acquired during the Settlement Period ending immediately prior to such Settlement Date shall be satisfied in full and (y) if the Payment Amount is negative, the Seller Representative shall (on behalf of the Sellers) pay the full absolute value thereof to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) by deposit into the Administrative Agent’s Account. Furthermore,
20
in connection with Sections 3.5 and 3.6, any applicable Administration Fee and the Unused Fee payable by the Seller Representative on each Settlement Date shall be set-off against any positive Payment Amount payable by the Administrative Agent (and the surplus of any applicable Administration Fee and Unused Fee, if any, after effecting such set-off shall be payable by Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) to the Administrative Agent), and the absolute value of any negative Payment Amount payable by the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) shall be combined with any Administration Fee and Unused Fee payable on such Settlement Date (such that both amounts will be paid simultaneously to the Administrative Agent).
(c)Following the determination of the Termination Payment Amount, and in accordance with Section 5.7, on each Termination Settlement Date until the Funded Amount has been reduced to zero and all other amounts payable to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers by the Sellers hereunder have been paid in full, the Seller Representative shall (on behalf of the Sellers) pay the full amount of the Termination Payment Amount to the Administrative Agent by deposit into the Administrative Agent’s Account. Furthermore, in connection with Sections 3.5, any applicable Administration Fee payable on each Termination Settlement Date shall be combined with the Termination Payment Amount payable on such Termination Settlement Date (such that both amounts will be paid simultaneously to the Administrative Agent).
Section 2.5.Seller Representative. Each Seller hereby appoints CACI as its agent, attorney-in-fact and representative (in such capacity, the “Seller Representative”), and CACI accepts such appointment, for the purpose of (i) making any requests required under this Agreement, (ii) the receipt of any notice of required repurchase pursuant to Section 11.2, (iii) the giving and receipt of any other notices to, or demand of, any Seller under this Agreement, (iv) the delivery of all documents, reports, financial statements and written materials required to be delivered by any Seller under this Agreement, (v) the receipt of all payments owing to a Seller hereunder, together with the subsequent allocation of such payment proceeds between the Sellers, (vi) taking any and all other actions required to be undertaken hereunder by the Seller Representative, and (vii) all other purposes incidental to any of the foregoing. Each Seller agrees that any action taken by the Seller Representative as the agent, attorney-in-fact and representative of each such Seller shall be binding upon it, as applicable, to the same extent as if directly taken by such Seller, as applicable.
Section 2.6.Termination and Reduction of Commitments.
(a)In addition, the Seller Representative may terminate or reduce permanently the Commitments of the Purchasers in its sole discretion at any time by delivering thirty days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers; provided that, (i) if the Commitments are terminated in full, the Termination Date shall be the first Business Day following such thirty-day period, (ii) if the Commitments are reduced, such reduction shall be effective on the first Business Day following such thirty-day period, (iii) each reduction of Commitments shall be in a minimum amount of $50,000,000 or in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iv) no reduction of the Commitment may cause the Aggregate Commitments to be less than the greater of $50,000,000 and the Funded Amount and (v) each reduction in the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Purchasers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share. Once reduced or terminated, the Commitments may not be reinstated.
(b)Upon the occurrence of a Facility Suspension Event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Purchasers, shall, terminate the Commitments of the Purchasers at any time by providing written notice of such termination to the Seller Representative (in which case the Termination Date shall be the day specified as such in the written notice, which may be the date upon which such written notice is received by the Seller Representative (or, in each case, if such date is not a Business Day, the Termination Date shall be the immediately following Business Day)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the occurrence of the Termination Date will have no effect on any rights or obligations hereunder in respect of
21
any Purchased Receivables outstanding as of the Termination Date and all covenants, representations and warranties, repurchase obligations and indemnities made herein shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Purchased Receivables remain outstanding.
Section 2.7.Effect of Termination Date.
(a)For the sake of clarity, the parties agree that, at all times on and following the Termination Date:
(i)Except to the extent otherwise removed in accordance with Section 5, each Seller shall continue to service and administer the Purchased Receivables sold by it as agent for the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, all on terms further set out in this Agreement.
(ii)The Seller Representative shall (on behalf of the Sellers) continue to pay the Accrued Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount on each Termination Settlement Date until the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount has been paid in full to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) by deposit into the Administrative Agent’s Account. The Refundable Discount Advance will be promptly repaid by the Administrative Agent to the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) upon payment in full by the Seller Representative of the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount in accordance with Section 2.8.
Section 2.8.Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount; Refundable Discount Advance.
(a)The Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount shall be payable in full by the Sellers on the Final Maturity Date; provided, however, that following the occurrence of the Termination Date, if a Seller’s appointment as servicer hereunder is terminated by the Administrative Agent as the result of a Facility Suspension Event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Purchasers, shall, by written notice to the Seller Representative, demand payment in full of the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount. In any such case, the Sellers shall pay the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) on the date designated for such payment in the written notice from the Administrative Agent (which date must be at least one Business Day following the date upon with such written notice is received by the Seller Representative) by deposit into the Administrative Agent’s Account. The parties hereto agree that the Sellers’ obligation to pay the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount is not credit recourse for any failure of an Approved Obligor to pay the full outstanding balance of any Purchased Receivable, but rather is an obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers for electing not to deduct the Purchase Discount from the Purchase Price with respect to the applicable Purchased Receivables for the purpose of administrative convenience.
(b)On the Facility Activation Date, the Sellers will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, a refundable purchase discount advance (the “Refundable Discount Advance”) equal to 1.25% of the Aggregate Commitments. For administrative convenience it is agreed and the Sellers hereby instruct the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers to withhold the entire Refundable Discount Advance from the initial purchase of Receivables hereunder and to transfer such amount to the Refundable Discount Advance Account as described below. The Refundable Discount Advance shall be held in a blocked account established with the Administrative Agent and maintained in the name of the Seller Representative (the “Refundable Discount Advance Account”). The Refundable Discount Advance Account shall at all times be blocked with respect to the Seller Representative, such that only the Administrative Agent will be permitted to transfer funds out of the Refundable Discount Advance Account. Subject to repayment in full of the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount, the Administrative Agent will promptly repay the Refundable Discount Advance to the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) by deposit into the Remittance Account; provided, however, that if the Seller Representative (on behalf of
22
the Sellers) has not paid the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount in full as of the Final Maturity Date (or any such earlier date as required by Section 2.8(a)), the Administrative Agent may set-off the Refundable Discount Advance against the unpaid balance of the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount, and upon doing so, the Administrative Agent will promptly repay the excess Refundable Discount Advance (if any) to the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) by deposit into the Remittance Account. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that, to the extent there remains any deficiency in the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount after any such set-off and application, such deficiency shall remain the obligation of the Sellers.
Section 2.9.Eligible Unbilled Receivables. The Seller Representative shall procure that each Eligible Unbilled Receivable sold, transferred and assigned to the Administrative Agent hereunder will be the subject of an Invoice as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days following the Seller Representative’s receipt of a written request to issue such Invoice from the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that if any Approved Obligor becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts or fails or admits in writing its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due, the Seller Representative shall promptly (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days) issue an Invoice for each Purchased Receivable that is an Eligible Unbilled Receivable payable by such Approved Obligor, and shall provide the Administrative Agent with a copy of each such Invoice. In the event of the occurrence of the Termination Date or a revocation of the Purchasers’ approval of any Approved Obligor pursuant to Section 14.21, the Administrative Agent shall have the option to (i) retain ownership of any Eligible Unbilled Receivable and/or (ii) at any time following such termination or revocation, but solely to the extent that an Approved Obligor Termination Event has not occurred with respect to the Approved Obligor of the applicable Eligible Unbilled Receivable, cause the applicable Seller to repurchase such Eligible Unbilled Receivable from the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11. The Administrative Agent shall promptly inform the Seller Representative following any such termination or revocation of its decision to either retain ownership or cause a Repurchase Event with respect to any such Eligible Unbilled Receivable. In the event that the Administrative Agent elects to retain ownership of any Eligible Unbilled Receivable after the Termination Date or the revocation of the Purchasers’ approval of any Approved Obligor pursuant to Section 14.22, the Seller Representative shall promptly (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days) issue an Invoice for any such retained Eligible Unbilled Receivable. Upon issuance by the relevant Seller of an Invoice for a Purchased Receivable that is an Eligible Unbilled Receivable, such Purchased Receivable shall immediately become a Billed Receivable for purposes hereof (the date upon which such Purchased Receivable becomes a Billed Receivable, the “Conversion Date”).
Section 2.10.Increase in Aggregate Commitments.
(a)Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Facility Suspension Event, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Purchasers), the Seller Representative may from time to time request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $50,000,000; provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000, (ii) the Seller Representative may make a maximum of two (2) such requests. At the time of sending such notice, the Seller Representative (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Purchaser is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Purchasers).
(b)Purchaser Elections To Increase. Each Purchaser shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than or less than its Pro Rata Share of such requested increase. Any Purchaser not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.
23
(c)Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Purchasers. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Sellers and each Purchaser of the Purchasers’ responses to each request made hereunder. To the extent that the existing Purchasers do not agree to the full amount of a requested increase, in order to achieve the full amount of such requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Seller Representative may also invite additional financial institutions (each, a “New Purchaser”) to become Purchasers pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel; provided that (i) the Commitment of each New Purchaser shall be at least $25,000,000 and (ii) no New Purchaser may join this Agreement unless an Administration Fee Letter shall be in effect.
(d)Increase Effective Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Sellers shall determine the final allocation of such increase and the effective date thereof (the “Increase Effective Date”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Sellers and the Purchasers of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date and the Purchasers shall receive at least two (2) Business Days’ notice thereof. The Asset Interests of the Purchasers shall be reallocated among all Purchasers (including the New Purchasers) such that the Asset Interests of each Purchaser on the Increase Effective Date shall be consistent with such Purchaser’s new Pro Rata Share on such date. In order to achieve such reallocation, certain Purchasers will be required, and hereby agree, to purchase a portion of the Asset Interests from the other Purchasers in exchange for cash on the Increase Effective Date. The Administrative Agent shall coordinate such reallocation among the Purchasers and its determination shall be final absent manifest error.
(e)Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to each increase in the Aggregate Commitments, the Sellers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Purchaser) signed by the secretary or an assistant secretary of each Seller (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Sellers approving or consenting to such increase and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties of the Sellers contained in this Agreement and the other Purchase Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they were true and correct as of such earlier date and (B) no Facility Suspension Event exists. As an additional a condition precedent to each increase in the Aggregate Commitments, the Sellers shall have deposited an amount equal to 0.4% of such increase in the Aggregate Commitments into the Refundable Discount Advance Account to serve as additional Refundable Discount Advance.
Section 2.11.Defaulting Purchaser Provisions.
(a)Replacement of Defaulting Purchaser. If any Purchaser is a Defaulting Purchaser, then (i) the Seller Representative, upon notice to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent upon notice to the Seller Representative, and the Purchasers, may require such Defaulting Purchaser to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 14.6), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.3, 12.1 or 14.1) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Purchase Documents to one or more permitted assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Purchaser, if such Purchaser accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Purchaser shall have received payment of an amount equal to its outstanding Asset Interests, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Purchase Documents, (ii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law and (iii) if such Purchaser is also acting as Administrative Agent, (A) such Purchaser shall have the right to immediately resign as Administrative Agent upon the effectiveness of such assignment and (B) the non-Defaulting Purchasers may in their discretion require that such Xxxxxxxxx resign as Administrative Agent. Each Purchaser hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power
24
of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Purchaser if such Purchaser becomes a Defaulting Purchaser, as assignor, any Assignment and Assumption necessary to effect any assignment of such Defaulting Purchaser’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.11(a). Each Purchaser agrees that if the Seller Representative or the Administrative Agent exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Purchaser if such Purchaser becomes a Defaulting Purchaser, such Defaulting Purchaser shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effect such assignment in accordance with Section 14.6. In the event that a Purchaser does not comply with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within one Business Day after receipt of such notice, each Purchaser hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 14.6 on behalf of such Defaulting Purchaser and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 14.6.
(b)Defaulting Purchaser Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Purchaser becomes a Defaulting Purchaser, then, until such time as such Purchaser is no longer a Defaulting Purchaser, to the extent permitted by applicable Law (i) such Defaulting Purchaser’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement or any other Purchase Document shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Purchasers and (ii) no Defaulting Purchaser shall be entitled to receive any Unused Fee pursuant to Section 3.6 for any period during which that Purchaser is a Defaulting Purchaser (and the Sellers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Purchaser).
(c)Defaulting Purchaser Cure. If the Seller Representative and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Purchaser is no longer a Defaulting Purchaser, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Purchaser will take such actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary (which may include a requirement for such Purchaser to purchaser certain Asset Interests from the other Purchasers in order to equalize all such Asset Interests in accordance with the Pro Rata Shares of the Purchasers as in effect immediately prior to any assignment that occurred as a result of such Purchaser becoming a Defaulting Purchaser), whereupon such Purchaser will cease to be a Defaulting Purchaser; provided that no adjustment will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Sellers while that Xxxxxxxxx was a Defaulting Purchaser; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Purchaser to Purchaser will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Purchaser’s having been a Defaulting Purchaser.
Section 2.12.Effect of Benchmark Transition Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to this Agreement or any further action or consent of the Sellers or the Purchasers.
The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Sellers and the Purchasers of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions hereof, 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
25
taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion and without consent from the Sellers or the Purchasers.
Section 3.1.Late Payment Amount. In the event that any amount payable by any Seller hereunder or under any of the other Purchase Documents remains unpaid for any reason for five (5) Business Days after the Administrative Agent provides notice to the Seller Representative that such amounts are past due, the Administrative Agent shall charge (for its benefit or the benefit of the Purchasers, as applicable), and such Seller shall pay, an amount (the “Late Payment Amount”) equal to (x) such unpaid amount due from such Seller to the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers during the period from (and including) the due date thereof to, but excluding the date payment is received by the Administrative Agent in full, times (y) a rate per annum equal to the Prime Commercial Rate, computed on the basis of a 360 day year, and for actual days elapsed. Late Payment Amounts shall be payable on demand and, if no prior demand is made, on the last Business Day of each calendar month.
Section 3.2.Payments Generally. All payments to be made under any Purchase Document or in respect of a Purchased Receivable shall be made in immediately available funds. Any amounts that would fall due for payment on a day other than a Business Day shall be payable on the succeeding Business Day, and interest calculations, if any, shall be adjusted accordingly for such later or earlier payment. All amounts payable by any Seller or the Seller Representative to the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser pursuant to or in connection with any Purchase Document shall be paid in full, free and clear of all deductions, set-off or withholdings whatsoever except only as may be required by Law, and shall be paid on the date such amount is due no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) to the Administrative Agent’s Account. Any amount to be paid by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser to any Seller or the Seller Representative under any Purchase Document shall be paid to the Seller Representative by deposit into the Remittance Account, and shall be paid on the date such amount is due no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time).
Section 3.3.Breakage. Each Seller agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser on demand against any loss or expense (including, but not limited to, any loss or expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred by a Purchaser in liquidating or employing deposits acquired or contracted for to effect or maintain its acquisition of its Asset Interest in Purchased Receivables or any part thereof, but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the loss of any anticipated profits) which the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser has sustained or incurred as a consequence of (a) the non-fulfillment of any of the conditions precedent described in Section 8.3 or otherwise or (b) a repurchase of Purchased Receivables by the Seller; provided, that no Seller shall be obligated to indemnify any Purchaser pursuant to this provision if such loss or expense is caused by such Purchaser’s failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Payment Amount.
Section 3.4.Ratable Sharing. If any Purchaser shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any Purchased Receivable or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Purchaser receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount payable under any Purchased Receivable to such Purchaser greater than its Asset Interest would warrant as provided herein, then such Purchaser receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash) participations in the other Purchasers’ Asset Interests (not in excess of the applicable Purchase Price thereof), or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Purchasers ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount owing to them; provided: (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be
26
construed to apply to (A) any payment made by a Seller pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms hereof, or (B) any payment obtained by a Purchaser as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Purchased Receivables to any assignee or participant including, without limitation, any assignments effectuated pursuant to Section 2.1(c). Each Seller consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Purchaser acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Seller rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Purchaser were a direct creditor of such Seller in the amount of such participation.
Section 3.5.Payment of Administration Fee. On each Settlement Date and each Termination Settlement Date, the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) shall pay to the Administrative agent, for its own account, an administration fee (the “Administration Fee”) in an amount provided for in the Administration Fee Letter; provided that no Administration Fee and no Administration Fee Letter shall be required to be in place at such times as there is only one Purchaser.
Section 3.6.Unused Fee. On each Settlement Date, the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, an unused commitment fee (the “Unused Fee”) in an amount equal to:
UF = (AC – FA) x R x (SP / 360), in which:
Term |
Definition |
“UF” equals |
The Unused Fee payable on a given Settlement Date |
“AC” equals |
The Aggregate Commitments as of the immediately preceding Settlement Date |
“FA” equals |
The Funded Amount as of the immediately preceding Settlement Date |
“R” equals |
A rate of 0.35% per annum |
“SP” equals |
The Settlement Period ending immediately prior to the Settlement Date on which the Unused Fee is payable |
The Unused Fee distributable by the Administrative Agent to each Purchaser on each Settlement Date for each day during the preceding Settlement Period shall be equal to such Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of the Unused Fee earned for such day; provided, however, if a Shutdown of the U.S. Government shall have occurred and be continuing on any day, no Unused Fee shall accrue with respect to such day; provided, further, that if a Shutdown of the U.S. Government shall have ceased during any calendar month, the Unused Fee shall begin to accrue on the first day of the following calendar month.
Section 4.1.True Sale. The parties hereto agree that each purchase and sale of Receivables under this Agreement is intended to be an absolute and irrevocable transfer constituting a “true sale” for bankruptcy law purposes, without recourse by the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers to any Seller for any credit risk or financial inability to pay of any Obligor. The parties hereto have structured the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a sale, and each party hereto agrees to treat each such transaction as a “true sale” for all purposes under applicable law and accounting principles, including, without limitation, in their respective books, records, computer files, tax returns (federal, state and local), regulatory and governmental filings (and shall reflect such sale in their respective financial statements). Each Seller will advise all Persons inquiring about the ownership of the Receivables that all Purchased Receivables have been sold to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers. Against the possibility that, contrary to the mutual intent of the parties, the purchase of any Receivable is not characterized as a sale by any applicable court, each Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the
27
Purchasers) a security interest in, and right of setoff with respect to, all of the Purchased Receivables to secure the payment and performance of the Seller’s payment and performance obligations hereunder and under each other Purchase Document. The grant of this security interest is a supplemental protection to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers and is not meant to negate or affect in any way the intended sale of the Receivables by the Sellers to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers. In addition, each Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, a security interest in, and right of setoff with respect to, all of the Seller Account Collateral related to such Seller and all proceeds thereof to secure the payment and performance of the Seller’s payment and performance obligations hereunder and under each other Purchase Document. Furthermore, the Seller Representative hereby grants to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) a security interest in, and right of setoff with respect to, the Refundable Discount Advance Account and all proceeds therein to secure the payment of the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount by each Seller hereunder. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to file UCC financing statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder, including the security interests granted herein, together with any continuations and amendments relating thereto.
Section 4.2.No Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller Representative and each Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Purchaser shall be in any way responsible for the performance of any Contract and no such Person shall have any obligation to intervene in any Dispute arising out of the performance of any Contract. All obligations of a Seller as seller of the Goods and Services and provider of any related services, including, without limitation, all obligations of such Seller as seller under the Contracts, all representations and warranty obligations, all servicing obligations, all maintenance obligations, and all delivery, transport and insurance obligations, shall be retained by such Seller (the “Retained Obligations”). Any claim which a Seller may have against an Obligor or any other party, and/or the failure of an Obligor to fulfill its obligations under the applicable Contract, shall not affect the obligations of such Seller to perform its obligations and make payments hereunder, and shall not be used as a defense or as set-off, counterclaim or cross-complaint as against the performance or payment of any of its obligations.
Section 4.3.Further Assurances. Seller Representative and each Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence or implement the transactions contemplated hereby, or to enable the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser to exercise or enforce any of its rights with respect to the Purchased Receivables, including, in the case of a Facility Suspension Event and/or a Non-Payment Event, any action reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser in order to make the sale, assignment and transfer of any Purchased Receivables compliant with FACA.
Section 5.1.Appointment of each Seller as a Servicer. Each Seller hereby agrees to service and administer the Purchased Receivables sold by it as agent for the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, all on the terms set out in this Agreement. Each Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to collect each Purchased Receivable sold by it as if such Purchased Receivable had not been purchased by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers. Each Seller agrees that such Seller shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent and shall take any and all commercially reasonable actions requested by the Administrative Agent including, without limitation, initiating appropriate legal proceedings and exercising all rights and remedies that may be available to the Seller under its commercial arrangements with the Approved Obligors, in each case, in connection with collecting and recovering all amounts owed by any Approved Obligor with respect to such Purchased Receivable. The Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) agrees to pay the reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and
28
expenses) approved in advance by the Administrative Agent and incurred by each Seller in connection with the performance by each such Seller of the actions requested by the Administrative Agent and specified in the immediately preceding sentence, provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for any costs and/or expenses of any Seller with respect to (i) the preservation of any rights of, or the exercise of any rights by, the Administrative Agent under, or the enforcement (whether through legal proceedings or otherwise) of, this Agreement against any Seller and (ii) actions necessary for a Seller to perform its representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement (it being understood that any such costs and expenses shall be for the account of the Sellers). Without limiting the foregoing, each Seller agrees to devote to the servicing of Purchased Receivables at least the same amount of time and attention, and to exercise at least the same level of skill, care and diligence in such servicing, as if each Seller were servicing Receivables legally and beneficially owned by it. Each Purchaser shall pay each Seller a Servicing Fee as consideration for the performance of such obligations as servicer under this Section 5.1 and this Agreement. On or before each Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent shall provide to the Seller Representative (on behalf of each Seller) and each Purchaser, a calculation for the servicing fee (the “Servicing Fee”) accrued for the related Settlement Period most recently ended. Such Servicing Fee shall be payable by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers, on such Settlement Date as provided in Section 2.4. The Servicing Fee shall be calculated as follows:
Servicing Fee = TOA x Rate x y/360
Where:
Term |
Definition |
“TOA”equals |
Total Outstanding Amount of all Purchased Receivables as of the first day of the relevant Settlement Period |
“Rate”equals |
0.03% per annum |
“Y” equals |
The number of days in the relevant Settlement Period |
|
|
Section 5.2.Servicing Covenants. Each Seller covenants and agrees, in connection with its servicing obligations pursuant to Section 5.1, (i) that the payment instructions currently in force and provided to each Approved Obligor specify that each such Approved Obligor shall pay all amounts owing under the Purchased Receivables to the applicable Seller Account, (ii) not to change such payment instructions while any Purchased Receivable remains outstanding without the Administrative Agent’s prior consent, (iii) that it shall keep accurate books and records with respect to each relevant Seller Account, clearly identifying the source of all amounts deposited and otherwise held therein, and (iv) to take any and all other commercially reasonable actions, including such commercially reasonable actions as may be requested by the Administrative Agent from time to time, to (a) recover and enforce payment of any defaulted Purchased Receivable and (b) ensure that all amounts owing under the Purchased Receivables be deposited by the Approved Obligors exclusively to the applicable Seller Account or as otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent. Each Seller further covenants and agrees (A) upon receipt into a Seller Account of any Collections, such Seller shall identify and reconcile such funds with its books and records and (B) to take any and all other commercially reasonable actions, including commercially reasonable actions as may be requested by the Administrative Agent from time to time, to ensure that amounts deposited in or otherwise standing to the credit of a Seller Account will be disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.7. Any payment by an Approved Obligor of any amount owing under any Purchased Receivable that is not paid to the applicable Seller Account and is received by the applicable Seller directly shall be held in trust by such Seller as the Purchasers’ exclusive property, such funds shall be safeguarded for the benefit of the Purchasers, and such funds shall promptly, and in any event within two Business Days of receipt thereof, be transferred by wire transfer to a Seller Account. No Seller shall, directly or indirectly, utilize such funds for its own purposes, nor shall any Seller have any right to pledge such funds as collateral for any obligations of any Seller or any other party. Collections shall not be deemed
29
received by the Administrative Agent for purposes of this Agreement until credited to the Administrative Agent’s Account as immediately available funds or otherwise actually received by the Administrative Agent.
Section 5.3.Unidentified Collections on Receivables; Return of Collections.
(a)If any payment is received by a Seller from an Approved Obligor, and such payment is not identified by such Approved Obligor as relating to a particular Receivable or Purchased Receivable and cannot otherwise be reasonably identified as relating to a particular Receivable or Purchased Receivable, such Seller will first attempt to confer with the Approved Obligor to identify the Receivable(s) to which such payment should be applied. In the event such Seller is unable to identify within two (2) Business Days the Receivable(s) to which such payment should be applied, the Seller Representative and the Administrative Agent will negotiate in good faith as to the allocation of such payment, and once the allocation of any such payment has been agreed by the Seller Representative and the Administrative Agent, such allocated payment shall be considered to be relating to the particular Receivable or Purchased Receivable agreed upon by the Seller Representative and the Administrative Agent. To the extent the preceding sentence results in collections received by a Seller being deemed collections on a Purchased Receivable, such Seller shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days, deposit such collections into a Seller Account for application in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.7.
(b)If following the delivery of any payment to the Administrative Agent’s Account which is deemed to be collections on a Purchased Receivable pursuant to this Section, such payment is identified by the applicable Seller to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent as being payment on a Receivable which is not a Purchased Receivable, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly, and in any event within five Business Days of such identification, repay such amount to the applicable Seller, in immediately available funds, by deposit to the Remittance Account for the benefit of such Seller.
Section 5.4.Past Due Receivables. In the event a Purchased Receivable that is a Billed Receivable has not been paid in full by the date that is thirty (30) days after the Maturity Date therefor (an “Overdue Receivable”), the applicable Seller shall determine the cause of such payment delay or non-payment, including whether it is due to a Dispute, and the applicable Seller shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser by no later than the third Business Day following such thirty-day period, a certification and report (a “Non-Payment Report”) identifying the Overdue Receivable and the Approved Obligor thereof and describing in reasonable detail the cause of such non-payment, including whether a Dispute exists with respect to such Overdue Receivable, or certifying that such cause is unknown. In the event that a Purchased Receivable that was sold hereunder has not been paid in full by the date that is sixty (60) days after the Maturity Date therefor and no Non-Payment Report with respect thereto has been delivered or the Non-Payment Report delivered with respect thereto does not report a Dispute or states that the cause of such payment delay or non-payment is unknown (a “Non-Payment Event”), the Administrative Agent may, following five (5) Business Days after giving written notice to the Seller Representative, in its sole discretion (a) contact such Approved Obligor by phone or in person to discuss the status of such Overdue Receivable and to inquire whether such payment delay or non-payment is due to a Dispute and when payment can be expected and/or (b) take any other lawful action to collect such Purchased Receivable directly from such Approved Obligor and/or (c) without limitation on any rights of the Administrative Agent under Section 4.3 and elsewhere in this Agreement, require that the applicable Seller take any action reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to make the sale, assignment and transfer of any Overdue Receivable compliant with FACA and/or (d) terminate the appointment of the applicable Seller as its servicer and agent solely for the purposes of servicing such Purchased Receivable. If the Approved Obligor advises the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers of the
30
existence of a Dispute, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Seller of such Overdue Receivable that the Approved Obligor has asserted a Dispute.
Section 5.5.Termination of Appointment. Upon the occurrence of any Servicer Replacement Event, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, or shall at the election of the Required Purchasers (i) take any lawful action to collect any Purchased Receivable purchased from such Seller directly from the respective Approved Obligors, and/or (ii) terminate the appointment of such Seller as its servicer and agent for the servicing of the Purchased Receivables, and/or (iii) take any steps required to obtain or exercise exclusive control over any Seller Account related to such Seller (including the delivery of a “notice of exclusive control” (howsoever defined) to the relevant depository bank) and/or (iv) instruct the Revolver Agent to take any steps required to obtain or exercise exclusive control over any Seller Account related to such Seller (including the delivery of a “notice of exclusive control” (howsoever defined) to the relevant depository bank) and transfer Collections on Purchased Receivables to the Administrative Agent. In addition, (1) if any Approved Obligor becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts or fails or admits in writing its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, or shall at the election of the Required Purchasers (i) take any lawful action to collect any Purchased Receivable directly from such Approved Obligor, and/or (ii) terminate the applicable Seller as its servicer and agent solely for the purpose of servicing of the Purchased Receivables of such Approved Obligor and (2) upon the occurrence of a Non-Payment Event, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, or shall at the election of the Required Purchasers (i) take any lawful action to collect the relevant Purchased Receivables subject to such Non-Payment Event directly from such Approved Obligor, and/or (ii) terminate the applicable Seller as its servicer and agent solely for the purpose of servicing of the Purchased Receivables subject to such Non-Payment Event. In the event of any termination of any Seller as servicer with respect to any Purchased Receivable, (A) each Seller agrees to take action reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to make the sale, assignment and transfer of the applicable Purchased Receivables compliant with FACA and to provide the Administrative Agent with all underlying documentation that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require in order to enable the Administrative Agent to enforce the payment obligation of any Approved Obligor with respect to a Purchased Receivable, (B) the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, notify each applicable Approved Obligor of the transfers hereunder and direct each applicable Approved Obligor to make payments as the Administrative Agent may elect or desire, and (C) no Seller shall interfere with such servicing or collection of such Purchased Receivable or attempt to receive or make collection from any Approved Obligor in respect of such Purchased Receivable. In addition, each Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (coupled with an interest) authorizing and permitting the Administrative Agent, at its option, with or without notice to any Seller, to do any one of the following that are necessary, in the determination of the Administrative Agent, to collect amounts due with respect to any Purchased Receivable and to otherwise direct any one or more Approved Obligors to make payment directly to an account of the Administrative Agent at any time following a Non-Payment Event or a Servicer Replacement Event: (I) endorsing the name of such Seller upon any check or other instrument, document or agreement with respect to any Purchased Receivable; (II) endorsing the name of such Seller on any freight or express bill or bill of lading relating to any Purchased Receivable; (III) deliver and execute any documents and provide any information, in each case, as may be required in order to make the sale, assignment and transfer of any Purchased Receivables compliant with FACA; (IV) take any lawful action to enforce and otherwise collect any Purchased Receivable directly from such Approved Obligor; and (V) taking all action as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate in connection with the foregoing. Each Seller agrees that the Administrative Agent will not be liable for any acts of commission or omission or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or Law in connection with the exercise of such power of attorney except to the extent the same constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct.
31

To the extent previously received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, on or before 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on each Reconciliation Date, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Purchaser a report (a “Purchaser Report”) containing the following information:
(1)a copy of the most recent Portfolio Report delivered to the Administrative Agent;
(2)such Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of (x) the Accrued Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount and (y) the Funded Amount;

(4)the date of the next succeeding Settlement Date or Termination Settlement Date, as applicable.

Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Administrative Agent will rely on the payment by such Purchaser of its Pro Rata Share of the Payment Amount on each Settlement Date in order to satisfy its funding requirements to the Sellers.
Section 5.7.Distributions from Seller Accounts.
(a)Collections in the Seller Accounts. On each Settlement Date, the Seller Representative or any applicable Seller shall apply Collections received during the preceding Settlement Period in accordance with the following procedure:
(i)if the Payment Amount is negative, the Seller Representative or the applicable Seller will pay the absolute value thereof, together with the amount of any applicable Administration Fee and Unused Fee, to the Administrative Agent from such Collections; if such Collections are insufficient to pay the full amount due and owing to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, then after applying such Collections to the payment of the Payment Amount (and, to the extent of available funds, the Administration Fee and Unused Fee) any remaining shortfall shall be paid directly by the Seller Representative or the applicable Seller from its general funds by deposit into the Administrative Agent’s Account; and
(ii)if the Payment Amount is positive, then the amount thereof will be payable by the Administrative Agent (on behalf the Purchasers) to the Seller Representative (for further distribution to the applicable Seller).

(b)Application of Collections. On each Termination Settlement Date, the Seller Representative or any applicable Seller shall apply Collections received into the Seller Accounts in accordance with the following procedure: the Seller Representative or any applicable Seller will pay the Termination Payment Amount and any applicable Administration Fee to the Administrative Agent from such Collections. If such Collections are insufficient to pay the full amount due and owing to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, then after applying such Collections to the payment of the Termination Payment Amount (and, to the extent of available funds, any applicable Administration Fee), any remaining shortfall shall be paid directly by the Seller Representative or the applicable Seller from its general funds by deposit into the Administrative Agent’s Account.
(c)Delivery of Collections to Purchasers. The Administrative Agent will pay to each Purchaser, such Purchaser’s share of such Collections in accordance with such Purchaser’s Asset Interests. The Administrative Agent may, at its discretion from time to time, setoff from Collections payable to the Purchasers hereunder the full amount (or any partial amount available thereunder) of such Purchaser’s share of the Payment Amount due and payable hereunder from time to time and other applicable obligations due to the Administrative Agent from such Purchaser. The Administrative Agent shall hold all Collections received by the Administrative Agent in trust for the Purchasers until paid by the Administrative Agent to the Purchasers. Any amounts payable by the Administrative Agent under this Section 5.7(c) shall be paid on the same day that the corresponding amounts are received by the Administrative Agent into the Administrative Agent’s Account, provided that if such amounts are received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. on a Business Day, or if they are otherwise received on a day that is not a Business Day, then the corresponding amounts payable by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be paid on the next following Business Day.
(d)Enforcement of Account Control Agreements. At any time that a Facility Suspension Event is in effect, the Administrative Agent will be authorized to instruct the Revolver Agent to give notice of exclusive control under any or all Account Control Agreements in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. Once given, any such notice will be irrevocable.
(e)Adjustment of Certain Payments. If for any reason any payment received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any Collection is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent has already paid to a Purchaser its share of such payment pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser will, upon notice from the Administrative Agent, promptly pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such Purchaser’s share of the amount so rescinded or returned, together with interest thereon at the overnight rate for Federal funds transactions between member banks of the Federal Reserve System, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for each day from and including the making of the payment to such Purchaser, to but excluding the date of said payment to the Administrative Agent, plus its pro rata share of any penalty or similar such amount, if any, as is required to be paid by the Administrative Agent with respect to such rescinded or returned payment; provided that such Purchaser shall not be obligated to pay any portion of any penalty or similar such amount to the extent that such rescinded or returned payment resulted from the gross negligence or the willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts that are returned pursuant to this provision will continue to be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

The Seller Representative shall be responsible for submitting a Portfolio Report via the PrimeRevenue System to the Administrative Agent on each Reconciliation Date and on the Termination Date; provided, however, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the PrimeRevenue System is not operational or is otherwise offline on any Reconciliation Date or on the Termination Date, then for such Reconciliation Date or Termination Date, as applicable, the Seller

Section 6.4.Reconciliation Following the Termination Date. If, as of the Termination Date, the Total Outstanding Amount is greater than the Funded Amount, then the following procedure will be used by the Seller Representative for purposes of determining which Eligible Receivables constitute Purchased Receivables: first, all Eligible Receivables that were Purchased Receivables as of the immediately preceding Reconciliation Date, and that remain outstanding, shall be designated as Purchased Receivables (including, for the sake of clarity, any Eligible Unbilled Receivables that were Purchased Receivables as of the immediately preceding Reconciliation Date and that have subsequently been converted into Billed Receivables), and second, new Billed Receivables arising after the immediately preceding Reconciliation Date shall be designated as Purchased Receivables based on Maturity Date (designating the Billed Receivable with the closest Maturity Date as a Purchased Receivable, then designating the Billed Receivable with the second closest Maturity Date as a Purchased Receivable, and continuing in the same manner until either all new Billed Receivables have been designated as Purchased Receivables or the designation of the next following Billed Receivable as a Purchased Receivable would result in the aggregate outstanding Net Face Value of all Purchased Receivables exceeding the Funded Amount).

RP = PP + AD + AI + AO, in which:
Term |
Definition |
“RP” equals |
Repurchase Price for such Purchased Receivable as of the applicable Repurchase Date |

The aggregate Purchase Price for such Purchased Receivable, net of any Collections received by the Administrative Agent with respect to such Purchased Receivable |
“AD” equals |
The Purchase Discount applicable to such Receivable and accrued for the period from the applicable Purchase Date to the applicable Repurchase Date; provided that AD shall only apply in the case of a Receivable purchased at its Discounted Purchase Price |
“AI” equals |
Interest on the total amount payable by the Approved Obligor with respect to such Receivable, calculated at a rate equal to the BSBY Rate for the period from the last day of the applicable Discount Period to the applicable Repurchase Date plus the Applicable Margin; provided that the AI shall only apply if the Repurchase Date occurs after the last day of the applicable Discount Period |
“AO” equals |
All other amounts then payable (including, to the extent not included in PP, the full amount of the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount corresponding to such Receivable) by the applicable Seller under the Purchase Documents with respect to such Purchased Receivable as of such Repurchase Date |
Section 11.2.Repurchase. Upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Event with respect to any Purchased Receivable, the Administrative Agent may, upon written notice to the Seller Representative,
43
require the applicable Seller to repurchase such Purchased Receivable on the Proposed Repurchase Date specified in such notice for an amount equal to the Repurchase Price of such Purchased Receivable.
Section 11.3.Repurchase Date. Upon delivery of any notice referred to in Section 11.2, (a) the Repurchase Price together with all other amounts under this Agreement and the other Purchase Documents with respect to the applicable Purchased Receivable shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Sellers; (b) the applicable Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) by deposit in the Administrative Agent’s Account such Repurchase Price on the Proposed Repurchase Date specified in such notice, which, in any event, shall be paid not later than five (5) Business Days from the date of the delivery of such notice; and (c) on receipt of such Repurchase Price, the Administrative Agent shall (at the cost and expense of the applicable Seller) execute such documents as may be necessary to re‑assign, without recourse, representation or warranty, and at no further cost to the Administrative Agent, such Purchased Receivable to the applicable Seller.
Section 12.1.Taxes. All payments to be made by any Seller under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of all Taxes, except to the extent required by applicable law. All Taxes required to be deducted or withheld from any amounts paid or payable by a Seller under this Agreement, if any, shall be paid by such Seller to the applicable Governmental Authority within the time allowed under the relevant law. In addition, if any Taxes or amounts in respect of Taxes must be deducted from any amounts payable by a Seller under this Agreement and such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, such Seller shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers receive a net amount equal to the full amount which the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers would have received had payment not been made subject to deduction of Tax by such Seller. Within 30 days of each payment to the relevant Governmental Authority by a Seller under this Section 12.1 of Tax or in respect of Taxes, such Seller shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers if the same is available an original receipt, certified copy or other appropriate evidence issued by the Governmental Authority to whom the payment was made that the Tax has been duly remitted to the appropriate authority. If the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 12.1, such Person shall pay to the applicable Seller an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of additional amounts made under this Section 12.1 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Person and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall interfere with the right of the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser to arrange its Tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, none of the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser shall be under any obligation to claim credit, relief, remission, repayment or other benefit from or against its corporate profits or similar Tax liability in respect of the amount of any deduction in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to it, nor shall any Seller be entitled to make any enquiries of the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser in relation to such Person’s Tax affairs. The Administrative Agent and each Purchaser shall (if and to the extent that it is entitled to do so under applicable law) submit in duplicate to the Seller Representative prior to the date of the first payment by any Seller to the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser, as applicable, duly completed and signed copies appropriate Internal Revenue Service forms claiming complete or partial exemption from withholding on all amounts (to which such withholding would otherwise apply) to be received by the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser, as applicable, including fees, from such Seller pursuant to this Agreement. In addition and from time to time the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser shall (if and to the extent that it is entitled to do so under applicable law) submit to the Seller Representative such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or the other of such Forms (or such successor
44
forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxation authorities) and any additional information as may be required under then current United States law, regulations or any income tax treaty to which the United States is a party to claim the inapplicability of, or exemption or partial exemption from, United States withholding (including backup withholding) taxes on payments in respect of all amounts (to which such withholding would otherwise apply) to be received by the Administrative agent or such Purchaser including fees, from such Seller pursuant to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent and each Purchaser agree that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Seller Representative in writing of its legal inability to do so.
Section 12.2.Duties and Taxes. All stamp, documentary, registration or other like duties or Taxes (excluding Excluded Taxes and any Taxes that are the subject of Section 12.1), including Taxes and any penalties, additions, fines, surcharges or interest relating thereto, or any notarial fees which are imposed or chargeable on or in connection with this Agreement or any other Purchase Document or any other document executed pursuant hereto or thereto shall be paid by each of the Sellers, it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser shall be entitled but not obligated to pay any such duties or Taxes (whether or not they are its primary responsibility), and each of the Sellers shall on demand indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser, as applicable, against those duties or Taxes and against any reasonable costs and expenses so incurred by it in discharging them. Without prejudice to the survival of any other provision hereof, the terms of this Section 12.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.
Section 13.1.Appointment and Authorization.
(a)Each Purchaser hereby irrevocably designates and appoints MUFG as the “Administrative Agent” hereunder and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent hereby and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including without limitation execution and delivery of, and performance of its obligation under, the Intercreditor Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall hold, in its name, on behalf of each Purchaser, the Asset Interests of each Purchased Receivable of such Purchaser. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties other than those expressly set forth herein or any fiduciary relationship with any Purchaser, and no implied obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, or otherwise exist, against the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent does not assume, nor shall it be deemed to have assumed, any obligation to, or relationship of trust or agency with, any Purchaser, any Seller or any other Person. Notwithstanding any provision hereof or any other Purchase Document, in no event shall the Administrative Agent ever be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to the provision of any Purchase Document or applicable Law.
(b)Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 13 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, and no Seller shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise under any of the provisions of this Section 13, except that this Section 13 shall not affect any obligations which the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser may have to any Seller under the other provisions hereof.
(c)In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as the agent of the Purchasers and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for any Seller or any of its successors and assigns.

Section 13.2.Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Purchaser for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

(a)The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document, other writing or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Seller), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Purchase Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Purchasers, and assurance of its indemnification, as it deems appropriate.

Section 13.5.Actions by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall take such actions, or refrain from taking such actions, under each of the Purchased Documents with respect to the rights and remedies of the Purchasers, including with respect to any Purchased Receivable, in each case as may be directed by the Required Purchasers; provided, that until the Administrative Agent receives such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as Administrative Agent deems advisable and in the best interests of the Purchasers.
Section 13.6.Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and Other Purchasers. Each Purchaser expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Seller, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of each Seller and the Purchased Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any
46
Purchase Document. Except for items specifically required to be delivered hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Purchaser with any information concerning a Seller or any of its Affiliates that comes into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

Each of the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates may extend credit to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, debt, entity or other business with any Seller or any of its Affiliates and MUFG may exercise or refrain from exercising its rights and powers as if it were not the Administrative Agent. With respect to the purchase of Asset Interests in Receivables pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Purchaser, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not such an agent, and the terms “Purchaser” and “Purchasers” shall include the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Purchaser.
Section 13.8.Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, upon at least twenty (20) days’ notice to each Seller and each Purchaser, resign as Administrative Agent. If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is subject to an Insolvency Event, the Purchasers (excluding the Purchaser that is also the Administrative Agent at such time, if applicable) may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to each Seller and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent. Any resignation or removal, as the case may be, shall not become effective until a successor agent is appointed by the Purchasers (excluding the Purchaser that is also the Administrative Agent at such time, if applicable), but with the consent of each Seller (provided, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and has accepted such appointment. Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring or removed, as applicable, Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed, as applicable, Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent under the Purchase Documents. After any retiring or removed, as applicable, Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal, as applicable, hereunder, the provisions of Sections 13 and 14 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent.
Section 13.9.Reimbursement by the Purchasers. Each Purchaser will reimburse the Administrative Agent, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed by the Sellers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, its Pro Rata Share of any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the protection or enforcement of its rights under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Purchase Documents.

47
indirect, special or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or foreign Laws, on common law or equitable cause or on contract or otherwise, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any such Indemnified Party, in any manner relating to or arising out of or incurred in connection with this Agreement, the other Purchase Documents, any Purchased Receivable or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including, without limitation, with respect to (y) any representation or warranty or statement made or deemed made by a Seller or the Seller Representative under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Purchase Documents which shall have been materially incorrect as of the date when made or the occurrence of a Dispute or any failure of a Seller or the Seller Representative to comply with its respective covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement or any other Purchase Document in all material respects and (z) any Retained Obligations of a Seller (the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, neither the Seller Representative nor any Seller shall have any obligation to any Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to (i) any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnified Party, in each case, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) any non-payment of any Purchased Receivable except to the extent that such non-payment is caused by or is otherwise attributable to any event, circumstance or condition that gives rise to the occurrence of a Repurchase Event and (iii) any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities are otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent or a Purchaser under Section 5.1. Without prejudice to the survival of any other provision hereof, the terms of this Section 14.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.
Section 14.2.Expenses. Each of the Sellers agree to pay promptly on demand (a) all actual and reasonable costs and expenses (including due diligence expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with (i) the negotiation, preparation and execution of the Purchase Documents (including this Agreement) and (ii) any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, in either case and without limitation, the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent in connection therewith; and (b) all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of settlement, incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser in enforcing any obligations of any of the Sellers under any Purchase Document or in collecting any payments due from any Seller hereunder or under the other Purchase Documents or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the purchase arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings. Without prejudice to the survival of any other provision hereof, the terms of this Section 14.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.
Section 14.3.Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser is hereby authorized by each Seller at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Seller or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser to or for the credit or the account of any Seller against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Seller to the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser hereunder and under the other Purchase Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto or with any other Purchase Document, irrespective of whether or not (a) the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) any amounts payable hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant hereto and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured; provided that the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser may only exercise its right of setoff in this Section 14.3 if a Facility Suspension Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to such Seller.

Section 14.6.Assignments and Transfers.
(a)The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Seller may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser, and no Purchaser may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of clause (e) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).
(b)Any Purchaser may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and its interest in Purchased Receivables); provided that:
(i) after such assignment no Purchaser has a Commitment of less than $50,000,000;
(ii) if such assignment is a partial assignment, it is an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Purchaser’s interest in Purchased Receivables or the Commitment assigned;
(iii) such assignment has been approved by the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless such assignment is to another Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof;
(iv)the parties to such assignment shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $5,000; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment; and
(v)such assignee is not (A) a Seller or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof, (B) a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person) or (C) an Ineligible Assignee or a Defaulting Purchaser.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement, and the assigning Purchaser thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Purchaser shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 14.1 and 14.2 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Purchaser of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph
50
shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Purchaser of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (d) of this Section.
(c)The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Sellers, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Purchasers, and the Commitments of each Purchaser, and each Purchaser’s interests in the Purchased Receivables pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Sellers, the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Purchaser hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Seller and any Purchaser, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)Any Purchaser may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Seller or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or any Seller or any Seller’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or an Ineligible Assignee) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Purchaser’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or such Purchaser’s interests in Purchased Receivables); provided that (i) such Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Sellers, the Administrative Agent and the other Purchasers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Purchaser shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 13.9 with respect to any payments made by such Purchaser to its Participant(s).
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Purchaser sells such a participation shall provide that such Purchaser shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Purchaser will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver of the type described in the proviso to Section 14.8 without the consent of each Participant. Each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.3, 12.1 and 12.2 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 12.1 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 12.1 shall be delivered to the participating Purchaser)) to the same extent as if it were a Purchaser and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 12.1 or 12.2, with respect to any participation, than its participating Purchaser would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 14.3 as though it were a Purchaser; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.4 as though it were a Purchaser. Each Purchaser that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Sellers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and each Participant’s interest in the Purchased Receivables or other obligations under the Purchase Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Purchaser shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in the Purchased Receivables or its other obligations under any Purchase Document) to any Person except to the extent that such
51
disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Purchaser shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(e)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Purchaser may assign or pledge a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Purchaser, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank. No such assignment and/or pledge shall release any Purchaser from its obligations hereunder.
Section 14.7.No Waivers, Remedies Cumulative. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser, any right or remedy under the Purchase Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law.
Section 14.8.Amendment. No waiver, alteration, modification, amendment or termination hereof or of any of the provisions hereof shall be binding unless made in writing and duly executed by each Seller, the Administrative Agent and the Required Purchasers; provided that no such waiver, alteration, modification, amendment or termination shall, without the consent of all Purchasers: (i) increase or extend the Commitment of any Purchaser, (ii) alter the definition of the term Pro Rata Share or Asset Interest, (iii) extend the maturity of any Purchased Receivable or reduce any fee payable by any Seller to the Purchasers, (iv) alter the definition of the term Required Purchasers or alter, amend or modify this Section 14.8, (v) alter the term Purchase Price or is component parts , (vi) release any Seller or other Person from its obligations under this Agreement or any other Purchase Document (including the CACI Performance Undertaking and the Intercreditor Agreement), (vii) release the general security interest granted herein to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, in the Purchased Receivables (unless such release relates to a sale or other disposition of assets permitted under the terms of this Agreement) or (viii) release or terminate any Account Control Agreement; provided that the Administrative Agent may amend, alter or modify any fee letter executed in connection with this Agreement without consent of the other Purchasers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Purchaser shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Purchaser or each affected Purchaser may be effected with the consent of the applicable Purchasers other than Defaulting Purchasers), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Purchaser may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Purchaser and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Purchasers or each affected Purchaser that by its terms affects any Defaulting Purchaser disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Purchasers shall require the consent of such Defaulting Purchaser.
Section 14.9.Accounting Treatment; Non-Reliance. Each Seller agrees and acknowledges that (i) it is a sophisticated party in relation to this Agreement; (ii) it has made its own independent decision to enter into the Agreement, the other Purchase Documents to which it is a party and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and, in connection therewith, has obtained such independent accounting, legal, tax, financial and other advice as it deems necessary and appropriate (including, without limitation, as to the appropriate treatment of such transactions for accounting, legal, tax and other purposes) and (iii) it has not relied upon any representation or advice from the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser, any of
52
their affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, contractors, counsel, advisors or other representatives in this regard.
Section 14.10.Third Party Rights. Other than as specifically provided in this Agreement, no Person not a party to this Agreement shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof, provided that each Participant is an intended third party beneficiary of, and entitled to rely on, Section 14.1.
Section 14.11.Counterparts. Each Purchase Document may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties thereto on separate counterparts; each such counterpart shall be deemed an original and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile or electronic copy of an executed counterpart of this Agreement shall be effective as an original for all purposes.
Section 14.12.Entire Agreement. The Purchase Documents constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto in relation to the transactions contemplated hereby, and supersede all previous proposals, agreements and other written and oral communications in relation thereto.
Section 14.13.Exclusion of Liability. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, no Seller shall assert, and each Seller hereby waives, any claim against the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser and their affiliates, members of the board of directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any other Purchase Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any purchase or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each Seller hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.
Section 14.14.Invalidity. If at any time any provision of the Purchase Documents shall be adjudged by any court or other competent tribunal to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired, and the parties hereto will use their best efforts to revise the invalid provision so as to render it enforceable in accordance with the intention expressed in this Agreement.
Section 14.15.Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law).

Each Seller hereby expressly and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, New York and of the United States district court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any such litigation. Each Seller further irrevocably consents to the service of process by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the address specified in Section 14.4 or by personal service within or without the State of New York. Each Seller expressly and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any
53
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such litigation brought in any such court and any claim that any such litigation has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

54
Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Purchasers) shall approve any such request.

Once each Purchaser has provided written approval of a proposed Approved Obligor to the Seller Representative and the Administrative Agent, such Person shall immediately become an Approved Obligor hereunder, and the Administrative Agent shall provide an updated copy of Schedule A-1 to the Seller Representative reflecting the then-current Approved Obligors.
Section 14.23.Designated ProjectsSection. From time to time during the term of this Agreement, the Seller Representative may, in its sole discretion, (i) designate projects with respect to Approved Obligors as additional Designated Projects under this Agreement and (ii) remove the “Designated Project” designation from then-Designated Projects. Upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent from the Seller Representative of the addition or removal of any project as a “Designated Project”, such project shall become a Designated Project hereunder or cease to be a Designated Project hereunder, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent shall provide an updated copy of Schedule A-2 to the Seller Representative reflecting the then-current Designated Projects. For the avoidance of doubt, such addition or removal of the “Designated Project” designation shall have no effect on the eligibility of Purchased Receivables already purchased by the Administrative Agent as of the effective date of such addition or removal.
Section 14.24.Optional Repurchase of Purchased Receivables. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, any Seller shall have the right after receiving notice from the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.4, upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to repurchase any outstanding Overdue Receivable arising from the failure of an Approved Obligor to pay the Overdue Receivable within sixty (60) days of the terms of a Contract at a repurchase price equal to the fair market value of such Overdue Receivable, which fair market value shall be calculated in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that, under certain circumstances, the fair market value of any Overdue Receivable may be higher than its original Net Face Value).
