On each Business Day after the date hereof, the Originator shall sell or contribute and Buyer shall acquire all of the Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables generated by the Originator which have not previously been sold or contributed to the Buyer arising through and including the Originator’s Termination Date, together with all Related Security and all Collections and other Sold Assets relating thereto. The Buyer shall be obligated to pay the Purchase Price for the Receivables purchased hereunder in accordance with Section 2.2. In connection with each acquisition of Receivables hereunder, the Buyer may request that the Originator deliver, and the Originator shall deliver, such approvals, opinions, information, reports or documents as the Buyer may reasonably request.
All additional Sold Assets with respect to each Purchased Receivable conveyed hereunder shall be transferred at the same time as such Purchased Receivable, whether such Sold Assets exist at such time or arise or are acquired or otherwise arise thereafter.
Section 2.2. Payment for the Purchases . (a) The Receivables of the Originator in existence on the Initial Conveyance Date are hereby sold (or contributed, as applicable) and assigned to the Buyer by the Originator on the date hereof. Each Receivable of the Originator coming into existence after the Initial Conveyance Date, shall be sold or contributed to the Buyer on the Business Day occurring immediately after the day such Receivable is originated and the Purchase Price for such Receivable shall be due and owing in full by Buyer to the Originator on such Business Day (except that the Buyer may, with respect to any such Purchase Price, offset against such Purchase Price any amounts owed by the Originator to the Buyer hereunder and which have become due but remain unpaid) and shall be paid to the Originator in the manner provided in the following paragraphs (b) and (c).
(b) With respect to any Receivables sold by the Originator hereunder after the date hereof, on the first Business Day after such Receivable is originated, such Receivable shall be sold to Buyer and on such date of Purchase, Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price therefor to the Originator in accordance with Section 2.2(c) and by delivery of immediately available funds to the extent of funds available to Buyer (i) from monies then held by or on behalf of the Buyer, (ii) by an increase in the capital of the Originator in the Buyer, or (iii) a combination of clauses (i) and (ii).
(c) Although the Purchase Price for each Receivable coming into existence after the Initial Conveyance Date shall be due and payable in full by the Buyer to the Originator on the date such Receivable is purchased, settlement of the Purchase Price between the Buyer and the Originator may be effected on a monthly basis no later than each Settlement Date with respect to all Receivables sold by the Originator during the same Calculation Period most recently ended prior to such Settlement Date and based on the information contained in the Information Package delivered by the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(ii) of the Receivables Financing Agreement for such Calculation Period.
(d) At all times prior to the Termination Date, notwithstanding any delay in the making of any payment of the Purchase Price in respect of any purchase under Section 2.1, all right, title and interest of the Originator in and to each Receivable originated by it shall be sold, assigned and otherwise transferred to the Buyer effective immediately and automatically upon the creation of such Receivable, without any further action of any type or kind being required on the part of any Person. The monthly settlement contemplated in this Section 2.2 has been devised solely for the administrative convenience of the parties hereto. The Buyer and the Originator may at any time, as may be agreed between themselves, elect to effect settlement on a more (but not less) frequent basis.
Section 2.3. No Recourse or Assumption of Obligations . Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the contribution, purchase and sale of Receivables and other Sold Assets under this Agreement shall be without recourse to the Originator, provided, however, that the Originator shall be liable to the Buyer and its assigns for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by the Originator (other than in its role as Servicer) pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which the Originator is a party. The Originator and the Buyer intend the transactions hereunder to constitute absolute and irrevocable true sales or other absolute conveyances of the Purchased Receivables and other Sold Assets by the Originator to the Buyer, providing the Buyer with the full risks and benefits of ownership of the Sold Assets (such that the Sold Assets would not be property of the Originator’s estate in the event of the Originator’s bankruptcy). If, however, despite the intention of the parties, the conveyances provided for in this Agreement are determined not to be “true sales” or other absolute conveyances of Receivables and the other Sold Assets from the Originator to the Buyer, then this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a “security agreement” within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC and the Originator hereby grants to the Buyer a “security interest” within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC in all of the Originator’s right, title and interest in and to such Purchased Receivables and the other Sold Assets, now existing and hereafter created, to secure a loan in an amount equal to the aggregate purchase prices therefor and each of the Originator’s other payment obligations under this Agreement.
The Buyer shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Receivable other than payment of the Purchase Price therefor, nor shall the Buyer have any obligation or liability to any Obligor or other customer or client of the Originator (including any obligation to perform any of the obligations of the Originator or the Servicer under any Receivable).
In view of the intention of the parties hereto that each sale of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a true sale of such Receivables rather than a loan secured thereby, the Originator agrees that it has marked, or will xxxx xxxxx to the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement, in accordance with Section 5.1(l), its master data processing records relating to the Receivables with a legend reasonably acceptable to the Buyer and to the Administrative Agent (as the Buyer’s assignee), evidencing that the Buyer has acquired such Receivables as provided in this Agreement and that it will note in its financial statements that its Receivables have been sold to the Buyer. Upon the request of the Buyer or the Administrative Agent (as the Buyer’s assignee), the Originator will execute (if required) and file or authorize the filing of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and maintain the perfection of the Buyer’s ownership interest in the Receivables and the Related Security, Collections and other Sold Assets with respect thereto, or as the Buyer or the Administrative Agent (as the Buyer’s assignee) may reasonably request.
SECTION 3. | ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION . |
Section 3.1. Zebra Technologies International, LLC to Act as Servicer. Pursuant to the Receivables Financing Agreement, Zebra Technologies International, LLC has been appointed as the initial servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”) for the administration and servicing of all Receivables sold to the Buyer hereunder and subsequently pledged under the Receivables Financing Agreement to the Administrative Agent. Pursuant to the Receivables Financing Agreement, Zebra Technologies International, LLC has agreed to assume the duties and the administration and servicing obligations of the Receivables as Servicer, and perform all necessary and appropriate commercial collection activities in arranging the timely payment of amounts due and owing by any Obligor with respect to Receivables all in accordance with the terms set forth in the Receivables Financing Agreement; provided, however, that such appointment as Servicer shall not release the Originator from any of its respective duties, responsibilities, liabilities and obligations as the Originator resulting from or arising hereunder. The Servicer may be removed in accordance with the provisions of the Receivables Financing Agreement.
Section 3.2. Repurchase; Adjustments to Purchase Price . If on any day:
(i) the Outstanding Balance of any Purchased Receivable is reduced or cancelled as a result of any defective, returned or rejected goods or services, any cash discount or any other adjustment by the Originator or any Affiliate thereof, or as a result of any governmental or regulatory action, or
(ii) the Outstanding Balance of any Purchased Receivable is reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by the Obligor thereof (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related or an unrelated transaction), or
(iii) the Outstanding Balance of any Purchased Receivable is reduced on account of the obligation of the Originator to pay to the related Obligor any rebate or refund, or
(iv) the Outstanding Balance of any Purchased Receivable is less than the amount specified in any report delivered by the Originator to the Buyer (for any reason other than receipt of Collections or such Receivable becoming a Defaulted Receivable), or
(v) the Outstanding Balance of any Purchased Receivable is reduced or cancelled (for any reason other than the financial inability or refusal of the Obligor to pay undisputed indebtedness or receipt of Collections or such Receivable becoming a Defaulted Receivable), or
(vi) any of the representations or warranties of the Originator set forth in Section 4.1(n) (Accuracy of Information)), Section 4.1(q) (Perfection Representations), Section 4.1(r) (Lock-Boxes), Section 4.1(s) (Collections), 4.1(z) (Compliance with Credit and Collection Policy), 4.1(aa) (Payments to Originator), 4.1(bb) (Enforceability of Contracts) or 4.1(cc) (Accounting) were not true with respect to any Purchased Receivable when conveyed hereunder,
then, the Buyer shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price otherwise payable to the Originator hereunder on such day (A) in the case of clauses (i)-(iv) above, in the amount of such reduction or cancellation or in the case of clause (v), discrepancy; and (B) in the case of clause (vi) above, in the amount of the Outstanding Balance of such Purchased Receivable. If such credit to the Purchase Price exceeds the Purchase Price for the Receivables sold by the Originator on such date or if the Buyer is required to make any payment pursuant to the terms of the Receivables Financing Agreement and does not have sufficient funds to do so, then the Originator shall pay the full or remaining amount of such credit, as applicable, by making a deposit in the Lockbox Account specified by the Buyer, in immediately available funds, within two (2) Business Days after the Originator has received notice from the Administrative Agent or the Originator has knowledge of such event. Any payment of the Outstanding Balance as contemplated by clause (B) above shall be considered a repurchase of such Receivable by the Originator and the Buyer shall transfer any interest it has in such Receivable to the Originator free and clear of any Adverse Claims arising by, through or under the Buyer and the transfer shall be noted on the books and records of the Originator as of the date thereof.
Section 3.3. Application of Collections . Any payment made by an Obligor that is not specified by such Obligor to relate to a particular invoice or other obligation of such Obligor shall, unless otherwise required by the related contracts or law, be applied, first, as a Collection of any Receivable or Receivables then outstanding of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest of such Receivables, and, second, to any other indebtedness of such Obligor to the Originator.
Section 3.4. Responsibilities of the Originator . Subject to the Servicer’s rights and responsibilities under the Receivables Financing Agreement, the Originator shall perform all of its obligations under the Contracts related to the Receivables to the same extent as if interests in the Receivables had not been transferred hereunder. The Administrative Agent’s, Buyer’s or any Secured Party’s exercise of any rights hereunder or under the Receivables Financing Agreement shall not relieve the Originator from such obligations. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Buyer, nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation to perform any obligation of the Originator in connection with the Receivables.

SECTION 8. | MISCELLANEOUS . |
Section 8.1. Amendments, Waivers, etc . No amendment of this Agreement or waiver of any provision hereof or consent to any departure by either party therefrom shall be effective without the written consent of the party that is sought to be bound. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance given. No failure or delay on the part of either party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. The Originator agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may rely upon the terms of this Agreement, and that the terms of this Agreement may not be amended, nor any material waiver of those terms be granted, without the consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent required under the Transaction Documents; provided that the Originator and the Buyer may agree to an adjustment of the purchase price for any Receivable without the consent of the Administrative Agent provided that the purchase price paid for any Receivable shall be an amount not less than adequate consideration that represents fair value for such Receivable.
Section 8.2 Protection of Ownership Interests of the Buyer . (a) The Originator agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Buyer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the interest of the Buyer (or the Administrative Agent, as its assignee) hereunder, or to enable the Buyer (or the Administrative Agent, as its assignee) to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder. At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, at the Originator’s sole cost and expense, direct the Originator to notify the Obligors of the ownership interest of the Buyer and the security interest of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, under the Receivables Financing Agreement.
(b) If the Originator fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, the Buyer and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligations, and the Buyer’s or the Administrative Agent’s (as applicable) costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Originator as provided in Section 8.6. The Originator irrevocably authorizes the Buyer and the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time in their sole discretion, and appoints each of the Buyer and the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, to act on behalf of the Originator (i) to authorize and/or execute on behalf of the Originator as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Buyer’s or the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Buyer in the Purchased Receivables and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Purchased Receivables as a financing statement in such jurisdictions and in such offices as the Buyer or the Administrative Agent in their sole discretion deem necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Buyer’s interests in the Purchased Receivables. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
Section 8.3. Assignment of Agreement . The Originator hereby acknowledges that on the date hereof, the Buyer has collaterally assigned for security purposes all of its right, title and interest in, to and under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to the Receivables Financing Agreement and that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are third party beneficiaries hereof. The Originator hereby further acknowledges that after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in the Receivables Financing Agreement) all provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, including the enforcement of any provision hereof to the extent set forth in the Receivables Financing Agreement, but that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligations or duties under this Agreement. The Originator hereby further acknowledges that the execution and performance of this Agreement are conditions precedent for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Receivables Financing Agreement and that the agreement of the Administrative Agent and Lender to enter into the Receivables Financing Agreement will directly or indirectly benefit the Originator and constitutes good and valuable consideration for the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and each Lender with respect hereto.
Section 8.4. Limitation of Liability. Except with respect to any claim arising out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Buyer or the Administrative Agent, no claim may be made by the Originator or any other Person against the Buyer or the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and the Originator hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to xxx upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.
Section 8.5. Binding Effect; Assignment . This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and shall also, to the extent provided herein, inure to the benefit of the parties to the Receivables Financing Agreement. The Originator acknowledges that the Buyer's rights under this Agreement are being assigned to the Administrative Agent under the Receivables Financing Agreement and consents to such assignment and to the exercise of those rights directly by the Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by the Receivables Financing Agreement.
Section 8.6. Survival . The rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made by the Originator or the Buyer pursuant to Section 4 and the indemnification provisions of Section 7 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
Section 8.7. Costs, Expenses and Taxes . In addition to the obligations of the Originator under Section 7, each party hereto agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses incurred by the other party and its assigns (other than Excluded Losses) in connection with the enforcement of, or any actual or claimed breach of, this Agreement, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to any of such Persons incurred in connection with any of the foregoing or in advising such Persons as to their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement in connection with any of the foregoing. The Originator also agrees to pay on demand all stamp and other taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing, and recording of this Agreement.
Section 8.8. Execution in Counterparts; Integration . This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telefacsimile or electronic image scan transmission (such as a “pdf” file) will be effective to the same extent as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement. Any party who delivers an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement, but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document contain the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof superseding all prior oral or written understandings.
Section 8.9. Severability; Section References . Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all references herein to “Article,” “Section,” or “Exhibit” shall mean articles and sections of, and schedules and exhibits to, this Agreement.
Section 8.10. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW WHICH SHALL APPLY HERETO) EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PERFECTION OF THE BUYER’S OWNERSHIP INTEREST IN THE RECEIVABLES, RELATED SECURITY AND OTHER ASSETS CONVEYED HEREUNDER OR REMEDIES IN RESPECT THEREOF ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Section 8.11 Consent to Jurisdiction. THE ORIGINATOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY THE ORIGINATOR PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE ORIGINATOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE BUYER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (AS ITS ULTIMATE ASSIGNEE) TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE ORIGINATOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY THE ORIGINATOR AGAINST THE BUYER OR ITS ASSIGNS INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY THE ORIGINATOR PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, NEW YORK.
Section 8.12 Waiver of Jury Trial . EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY THE ORIGINATOR PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.
Section 8.13. No Proceedings . The Originator agrees, for the benefit of the parties to the Receivables Financing Agreement, that it will not institute against the Buyer, or join any other Person in instituting against the Buyer, any Insolvency Proceeding until one year and one day after no investment, loan or commitment is outstanding under the Receivables Financing Agreement.
