1.1
General terms
1 | Sale and purchase facility |
1.2 | Sale and purchase |
At any time during the Substitution Period, the Principal Seller may give the Sale Notice to the Buyer offering to sell Receivables and Related Securities to the Buyer. The Buyer may purchase those Receivables and Related Securities by accepting the offer contained in that Sale Notice in accordance with this document.
1.3 | No obligation |
The parties acknowledge that:
(a) | no Seller is obliged to offer for sale to the Buyer any Receivables or Related Securities; and |
(b) | the Buyer is not obliged to accept any offer for sale of any Receivables or Related Securities made by any Seller; and |
(c) | no contract for the sale or purchase of any interest in any Receivables or Related Securities will arise unless and until the Buyer accepts the offer contained in the Sale Notice in accordance with this document. |
This clause applies despite any other clause in this document or any negotiations between the parties before the Sale Notice is given.
1.4 | Appointment of Agent |
Each Seller appoints the Principal Seller to be its agent for the purpose of:
(a) | offering Receivables or Related Securities to the Buyer and for the purposes of acting as agent on behalf of each Seller in connection with the sale of Receivables or Related Securities under this document from the applicable Seller; and |
(b) | receiving payment of amounts due to that Seller. |
1.5 | Authorisation |
Each Seller authorises the Principal Seller on its behalf to deliver the Sale Notice in respect of each Seller and to receive from the Buyer sums in respect of the Purchase Price of the Receivables and Related Securities. Each Seller irrevocably directs the Buyer to pay all sums in respect of the Purchase Price of the Receivables and Related Securities to the Principal Seller as its agent. Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that payment by the Buyer of the Purchase Price of the Receivables and Related Securities to the Principal Seller discharges the Buyer’s payment obligation to each Seller in respect of those Receivables and Related Securities.
1.6 | Acceptance |
The Principal Seller accepts its appointment as agent.
1.7 | Reliance |
The Buyer is entitled to rely:
(a) | on each Seller’s execution of this document as confirmation of the Principal Seller’s appointment as its agent with full power to act on its behalf as such under this document; and |
(b) | on any instructions from the Principal Seller to the Manager as being given on behalf of each Seller without enquiry and without liability. |
1.8 | No ownership by Servicer and Seller |
It is the intention of the parties that:
(a) | the assignment of Receivables and Related Securities contemplated by this document will initially constitute a sale of those Receivables and Related Securities from each Seller to the Buyer by way of equitable assignment; and |
(b) | the beneficial interest in the Purchased Receivables and Purchased Related Securities will not comprise assets of any Seller in the event that any Seller is Insolvent. |
1.9 | No assumption of obligations by the Buyer |
An assignment of Receivables and Related Securities contemplated by this document will not constitute, and is not intended to result in, any assumption by the Buyer of any obligation of the Servicer or any Seller to any Debtor, insurer or any other person in connection with the Receivables or the Related Securities or any document or agreement relating to any of them.
1.10 | Substitution Period |
(a) | The Principal Seller may provide written notice to the Manager requesting that the Substitution Period end on a date specified in that notice, provided that the date specified in the notice is at least 60 days after the date of the notice. The Manager may (but is not obliged to) accept the request by informing the Principal Seller in writing. The Substitution Period will only end on the date requested if the Manager, in its absolute discretion agrees and informs the Principal Seller and Buyer that it has accepted the request. |
(b) | The Principal Seller may provide written notice to the Manager requesting that the Substitution Period be extended to a date specified in that notice, provided that the date specified is at least 60 days after the date of the notice. The Manager may (but is not obliged to) accept the request by informing the Principal Seller in writing.

(ii) | the Manager is the same party as the Class A Facility Provider, |
the Manager is deemed to have delivered a copy of the Sale Notice it receives to each of the Class A Facility Provider and the Class B Facility Provider (in accordance with its obligations under paragraph (a)) at the same time that the Principal Seller gives a copy of the Sale Notice to the Manager under that paragraph (a).
2.2 | Offer constituted by Sale Notice |

3.2 | Effect of acceptance |
The acceptance by the Buyer of the offer contained in the Sale Notice in accordance with clause 3.1 (“Acceptance of offer”) constitutes:

(d) | in the case of the Receivables and Related Securities which are Originated by a Seller after the Cut-off Date until the Final Date, an assignment by each Seller to the Buyer of each Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Receivables and Related Securities from the time of Origination of such Receivables and Related Securities. |

will be netted-off against each other such that the increase in the Class B Invested Amount in an amount equal to the Required Class B Subscription and the payment of the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the Required Class B Subscription will be satisfied without the need for any payments in Cleared Funds.

(d) | The Buyer directs the Class A Facility Provider to pay any amount payable by the Class A Facility Provider to the Buyer under paragraph (b) above to the Class B Facility Provider.
