Provided no Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Sellers acting through the Servicer may elect, by written notice provided not later than 20 days prior to the initial Availability Termination Date to extend the Availability Termination Date for an additional period ending on the Extended Availability Termination Date, subject to such modifications to the then current Obligor Limits as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary and consistent with its credit policies. In the event of any such extension the Sellers shall be required to pay an extension fee of 0.175% flat of the aggregate Purchasers’ Investment Limits, to be distributed ratably to the Purchasers hereunder, following which payment by the Sellers the facility hereunder shall be extended until the Extended Availability Termination Date.

 

2.2                               Procedure for Making Purchases

 

(a)                                 In respect of Tranches A and B: Each purchase of Purchased Assets comprised of Tranche A Receivables or Tranche B Receivables hereunder shall be made as follows: The Servicer shall give the Administrative Agent an irrevocable Purchase Notice (which Purchase Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 P.M., New York City time, not less than one Business Day prior to the specified Purchase Date or 3 Business Days in respect of Receivables denominated in Japanese Yen) requesting that the Purchasers make the Purchase for an Initial Purchase Price, and specifying, for each Seller for such Purchase Date, (A) the aggregate amount of the Scheduled Receivables, (B) the Purchase Date (which must be a Business Day), and (C) the proposed amount of the Initial Purchase Price. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Purchaser thereof. The Administrative Agent shall confirm the Initial Purchase Price with respect to a Purchase; it being understood and agreed that the aggregate outstanding Investments in respect of all Purchases (other than Tranche C Purchases and Tranche D Purchases) shall not exceed the aggregate Purchasers’ Investment Limit. Not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day preceding the related Purchase Date, the Administrative Agent shall send to each

 

13











 

Purchaser a Purchase Calculation Notice setting forth a calculation of the related Initial Purchase Price. Not later than 12:00 noon (New York time), on the relevant Purchase Date, each Purchaser shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds in Dollars or Japanese Yen, as applicable equal to the Purchaser’s Investment Percentage of the relevant Initial Purchase Price by credit to the Administrative Agent’s purchase account.  The Administrative Agent shall, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to such purchase, including the receipt of all such amounts, credit the Servicer’s Account or the Servicer’s Japanese Yen Account, as applicable with the Initial Purchase Price made available to the Administrative Agent by the Purchasers in immediately available funds.

 

(b)                                 In respect of Tranche C: Each purchase of Purchased Assets comprised of Tranche C Receivables hereunder shall be made as follows: The Servicer shall give the Administrative Agent a non-binding draft Purchase Notice (which Purchase Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 P.M., New York City time, not less than 10 Business Days prior to the proposed Purchase Date) requesting that the Purchasers make binding offers to Purchase Scheduled Receivables. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Purchaser thereof. The Purchasers may offer to Purchase or decline to Purchase all or any portion of the Scheduled Receivables of Tranche C Obligors identified in such draft Purchase Notice, and the Administrative Agent shall inform the Servicer of the amount, if any, of each Purchaser’s proposed commitment to purchase and each Purchaser’s proposed Tranche C Applicable Margin in respect thereof not later than five Business Days prior to the proposed Purchase Date. The Servicer may, at its option, within one Business Day of the proposed Purchase Date accept all or any combination of such offers by delivering its acceptance pursuant to a Purchase Notice and related Receivables Presentation, and specifying, for each Seller for such Purchase Date, (A) the aggregate amount of the Scheduled Receivables, (B) the Purchase Date (which must be a Business Day), and (C) the proposed amount of the Initial Purchase Price and the amount of each Purchaser’s share thereof (not exceeding each Purchaser’s respective commitment). The Administrative Agent shall in the event such offers are accepted by the Servicer, calculate the Initial Purchase Price with respect to such Purchase and the Tranche C Applicable Margin. In the event that no offers are received from any Purchaser, or the Servicer does not indicate its acceptance of any offers as provided above, no Purchase will occur. Not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day preceding the related Purchase Date, the Administrative Agent shall send to each Purchaser a Purchase Calculation Notice setting forth a calculation of the related Initial Purchase Price. Not later than 12:00 noon (New York time), on the relevant Purchase Date, each Purchaser that has elected to take up some portion of such purchase shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds in Dollars or Japanese Yen, as applicable, equal to the Purchaser’s Investment Percentage of the relevant Initial Purchase Price by credit to the Administrative Agent’s purchase account. The Administrative Agent shall, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to such purchase, including the receipt of all such amounts, credit the Servicer’s Account or the Servicer’s Japanese Yen Account, as applicable with the aggregate of the amounts of the Initial Purchase Price made available to the Administrative Agent by the Purchasers in immediately available funds.

 

(c)                                  In respect of Tranche D: Each purchase of Purchased Assets comprised of Tranche D Receivables hereunder shall be made as follows: The Servicer shall give the Administrative Agent a Purchase Notice (which Purchase Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 P.M., New York City time, not less than one Business Day prior to the proposed Purchase Date) requesting that the Purchasers make the Purchase of Scheduled Receivables for an Initial Purchase Price and specifying, for each Seller for such Purchase Date, (A) the aggregate amount of the Scheduled Receivables, (B) the Purchase Date (which must be a Business Day), and (C) the proposed amount of

 

14











 

the Initial Purchase Price. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Purchaser thereof. The Purchasers may accept all or any combination of such offers to Purchase or decline to Purchase all or any portion of the Scheduled Receivables of Tranche D Obligors identified in such Purchase Notice. The Administrative Agent shall inform the Servicer of the amount, if any, of each Purchaser’s proposed commitment to purchase in respect thereof specifying the amount of each Purchaser’s share thereof prior to the proposed Purchase Date. In the event that no acceptances are received from any Purchaser, no Purchase will occur. Not later than 12:00 noon (New York time), on the relevant Purchase Date, each Purchaser that has elected to take up some portion of such purchase shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds in Dollars equal to the Purchaser’s Investment Percentage of the relevant Initial Purchase Price by credit to the Administrative Agent’s purchase account. The Administrative Agent shall, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to such purchase, including the receipt of all such amounts, credit the Servicer’s Account with the aggregate of the amounts of the Initial Purchase Price made available to the Administrative Agent by the Purchasers in immediately available funds.

 

The Servicer and the Sellers acknowledge and agree that a portion of the Tranche D Receivables will be offered for sale by Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, as Purchaser to Citibank, N.A. as participant pursuant to the terms of a participation agreement between them.  While Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, will be the nominal purchaser of any such Tranche D Receivables taken up by Citibank, N.A. on the terms and subject to the conditions of the participation agreement, the Administrative Agent’s notice of acceptance of the offer to purchase any such Tranche D Receivables will identify which Receivables are being acquired for the benefit of the participant, and the participant will be wholly liable for payment of the Purchase Price therefor directly to the Servicer.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Purchaser shall have any liability, contingent or otherwise, for payment of such amounts or any loss resulting from the non-payment of such amounts.

 

2.3                               Sale and Assignment

 

On each Purchase Date, effective upon the payment (or deemed payment) of the Initial Purchase Price contemplated by Section 2.2 (and without necessity of any formal or other instrument of assignment or further action), each Seller hereby sells and assigns to the relevant Purchasers as co-owners, with effect as of the related Cut-Off Date, each Scheduled Receivable of such Seller and the Related Security relating thereto reflected in the applicable Purchase Notice for an aggregate purchase price equal to the sum of the Initial Purchase Price plus the Deferred Purchase Price, less the amount of any Purchase Price Adjustments.

 

2.4                               Fees

 

Celestica Canada agrees to pay to Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch the fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in accordance with the Fee Letter between Celestica Canada and Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch dated November 23, 2010 (the “Fee Letter”).

 

2.5                               Computation and Payments; Commitment Fees

 

(a)                                 Interest on unpaid amounts and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.

 

(b)                                 The Sellers hereby agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers, for the period from and including the Closing Date through the Availability Termination Date, a non-refundable fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to 0.325% per annum on the excess of (i) the aggregate Purchasers’ Investment Limits for Tranche A

 

15











 

and Tranche B Eligible Buyers over (ii) the aggregate average outstanding amount of the Investments for such Tranches A and B on each day during each applicable period. The Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter occurring after the Closing Date, and on the Availability Termination Date.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Commitment Fee shall be the only consideration for the Purchasers’ Investment Limits provided by the Purchasers to the Sellers.  Any other consideration potentially incorporated into the aggregate purchase price under this Agreement shall be a consideration for the Purchase of Purchased Receivables by the Purchasers from the Sellers.

 

2.6                               Pro Rata Treatment and Payments

 

(a)                                 Each purchase by the Purchasers hereunder shall be for a co-ownership interest in the relevant Scheduled Receivables equal to a pro rata share based upon such Purchaser’s contribution to the related Initial Purchase Price and each payment on account of any Commitment Fee or Collections shall be allocated pro rata, according to the respective Purchasers’ Investment Percentages, as the same may be modified in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 2.2(b).

 

(b)                                 All payments (including deposits and Deemed Collections) to be made by the Servicer and the Sellers that comprise Collections hereunder shall be made without setoff or counterclaim except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement and shall be made prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Payment Account, in Dollars, or to the Japanese Yen Payment Account in Japanese Yen, and in immediately available funds. All other payments shall be payable directly to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Purchasers, at the account of the Administrative Agent (account no. 60200119 of Deutsche Bank NY Loan Operations, ABA no. 021001033 at Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas New York, Ref: Celestica, Attention: Lee Joyner) (the “Payment Account”).  The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments and Collections to the Purchasers promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment or deposit hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.  The Servicer and the Sellers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, upon demand, interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due (excluding amounts comprising Collections) at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate or BBA JPY LIBOR, as applicable, determined by the Administrative Agent plus 1%, for each such day such payment is overdue. Any such interest shall be paid directly to the Payment Account of the Administrative Agent.

 

2.7                               Requirements of Law

 

(a)                                 If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by the Purchaser with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

 

(i)                                     shall subject any Purchaser to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Purchase made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Purchaser in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes covered by Section 2.8 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of the Purchaser);

 

(ii)                                  shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Purchaser; or

 

16











 

(iii)                               shall impose on such Purchaser any other condition;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Purchaser, by an amount that such Purchaser deems to be material, of making or maintaining its Purchase, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Sellers shall pay such Purchaser, not later than 20 Business Days after its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Purchaser for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If such Purchaser becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Servicer of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled, specifying the basis for such claim in reasonable detail.

 

(b)                                 If any Purchaser shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Purchaser or any corporation controlling such Purchaser with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Purchaser’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Purchaser or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Purchaser’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Purchaser to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Purchaser to the Servicer of a written request therefor, specifying the basis for such claim in reasonable detail, which shall be made promptly, the Servicer shall pay to such Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Purchaser or such corporation for such reduction.

 

(c)                                  A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.7 submitted by any Purchaser to the Servicer (with a copy to the Collection Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  The obligations of the Servicer and the Sellers pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Scheduled Receivables and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

2.8                               Taxes

 

(a)                                 All payments and deposits made by the Servicer or the Sellers under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including any amount of interest, shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, franchise, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (collectively, “Taxes”), now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority. Taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser as a result of a current or former connection with any country other than the United States are excluded. If any such non-excluded Taxes (“Indemnified Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to (or deposited for the benefit of) the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser hereunder, or on any amount of interest, the amounts so payable to (or deposited for the benefit of) the Administrative Agent or such purchaser, or such amount of interest, shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser, as the case may be (after payment of all Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 In addition, the Servicer and the Sellers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

(c)                                  Whenever any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Servicer or the Sellers, as promptly as possible thereafter the Servicer or the affected Seller shall send to the Administrative Agent, for its own account or for the account of the relevant Purchaser,

 

17











 

as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Seller, showing payment thereof to the extent available, or such other evidence as may be readily obtainable. If the Servicer or a Seller fails to pay any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority, the Servicer or such Seller, as the case may be, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Purchaser, as the case may be, within 10 days after written demand by the Administrative Agent therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this section) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Servicer or the affected Seller, as the case may be, by the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser, together with a copy of an original receipt showing payment thereof, to the extent available, or such other evidence as may be readily obtainable, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In addition, if the Servicer or the affected Seller, as the case may be, fails to remit the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Servicer or the affected Seller, as the case may be, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Purchaser, as the case may be, for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser as a result of any such failure.

 

(d)                                 The agreements in this Section 2.8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 2.8(a), 2.8(b) and 2.8(c) shall not apply to withholding taxes (if any) in respect of payments made by or on behalf of Celestica Romania if (i) the payee of such payments has delivered a certificate of fiscal residence to Celestica Romania issued by the relevant tax authority in its home country, and (ii) the withholding tax rate applicable to such payments has been reduced to zero under the Romania/Germany Tax Treaty.

 

(e)                                  Upon the request of the Servicer on behalf of a Seller, the Purchasers shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Servicer within 30 days of such request such certificates or information requested by the Servicer on behalf of such Seller as is prescribed by any applicable law, rule or regulation then in force in the jurisdiction of such Seller or any political subdivision thereof and required by such Seller, whether to reduce or recover value added tax paid or payable by such Seller in connection with this Agreement thereunder or otherwise to comply with such law, rule or regulation. No Purchaser shall be required to provide any information to the Servicer or any Seller that it deems to be confidential or proprietary and no Purchaser shall be under any obligation to register, enrol or file any return under such law, rule or regulation in connection with any such request.

 

2.9                               Indemnity

 

Without limiting any other rights that the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Servicer and each Seller hereby jointly and severally agrees (provided that each of Celestica Czech Republic, Celestica Valencia and Celestica Romania shall only be responsible hereunder for the respective amount attributable to it) to indemnify each of the Indemnified Persons on demand from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from any of the following: (i) the failure of any information provided by the Servicer or any Seller to the Administrative Agent in Written Materials with respect to Scheduled Receivables or the other Purchased Assets to be true, correct and complete in all material respects; (ii) the failure of any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Servicer or a Seller under or in connection with this Agreement to have been true and correct in all material respects when made; (iii) the failure by the Servicer or the Sellers to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with regard to any Scheduled Receivable or the related Contract, or the failure of any Scheduled Receivable or the related Contract to conform to any applicable law, rule or

 

18











 

regulation; (iv) the failure to vest in the Purchasers a valid and enforceable ownership interest in the Purchased Assets, free and clear of any Lien or other adverse claim; (v) any dispute, claim, counterclaim, offset or defense of an Eligible Buyer to the payment of any Scheduled Receivable (including a defense based on such Scheduled Receivable or the related Contract not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms but excluding any dispute, claim, counterclaim, offset or defense arising out of any act or omission of any Indemnified Party), any Dilution with respect to a Scheduled Receivable or any claim resulting from the sale of the goods or services related to such Scheduled Receivable or any other transaction with such Obligor or the furnishing or failure to furnish such goods or services or relating to collection activities with respect to such Scheduled Receivables or any tax deducted from the payment of a Scheduled Receivable by the Obligor thereon, in each case, without duplication, and to the extent not remedied in accordance with Section 2.12(b); (vi) any failure of the Servicer or the Sellers to perform their duties or obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, failure to make any payment or deposit when due hereunder); (vii) any breach of warranty, products liability or other claim investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of or in connection with goods or services which are the subject of any Scheduled Receivables; (viii) the commingling of Collections of Scheduled Receivables at any time with other funds; (ix) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to this Agreement or the use of proceeds of Purchases; (x) the failure of any Scheduled Receivables to be Eligible Receivables to the extent not remedied in accordance with Section 2.12(c); and (xi) any action or inaction by the Servicer or the Sellers which impairs the interest of the Collection Agent or the Purchasers in any Scheduled Receivables or other Purchased Assets. If and to the extent the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser shall be required for any reason to pay over to the Servicer or any Seller or an Obligor (or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any insolvency proceeding) any amount received by such Person hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received and the Purchasers shall have a claim against the Sellers. All Indemnified Amounts under Sections 2.9(a)(vii), (ix) and (xi) hereunder shall be due and payable on demand. All other amounts payable hereunder shall be due and payable on the date that is 10 days from the demand made therefor, to the Payment Account.

 

2.10                        Records

 

The Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 9.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Purchaser, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Purchase made hereunder, and (ii) the amount payable or to become due and payable from (or to be deposited by) the Servicer and each Seller to the Administrative Agent hereunder. At the request of the Administrative Agent, from time to time, the Servicer shall provide copies of the drafts, shipping documents and other related documentation with respect to a Scheduled Receivable or the Purchased Assets as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably require.

 

2.11                        Purchase Price Adjustments/Deferred Purchase Price

 

(a)                                 On each Reporting Date after a Purchase that the Investment for Scheduled Receivables that were the object of such Purchase has been reduced to zero, after giving effect to the application of funds on such date in the Payment Account and Japanese Yen Payment Account, the Purchasers shall pay to the Servicer’s Account, for the benefit of the relevant Sellers, as additional consideration for the Purchase of the relevant Purchased Assets, the amount, if any, by which the Collections for such Scheduled Receivables transferred to the Payment Account or Japanese Yen Payment Account on such date exceed the Investment, after giving effect to the application of funds on such date in the Payment Account and Japanese Yen Payment Account (such payment being the “Deferred Purchase Price”).

 

(b)                                 On each day after a Purchase that (i) the Investment for Scheduled Receivables that were the object of such Purchase in Dollars or Japanese Yen excluding the Principal Amount of any such Scheduled Receivables that are Written Off Receivables exceeds (ii) the sum of the outstanding Principal Amount of all Scheduled Receivables comprising such Purchase excluding the Principal Amount of any such Scheduled Receivables that are Written Off

 

19









 

Receivables, without giving effect to any Collections transferred to the Payment Account or Japanese Payment Account, as applicable on such date, the relevant Sellers (or the Servicer on their behalf) as an adjustment to the Initial Purchase Price paid by the Purchasers, shall owe in the relevant currency to the Payment Account or Japanese Payment Account, as applicable for the benefit of the Purchasers the amount by which (i) the Investment for such Scheduled Receivables excluding the Principal Amount of any such Scheduled Receivables that are Written Off Receivables, on such day, exceeds (ii) the aggregate outstanding Principal Amount of such Scheduled Receivables excluding the Principal Amount of any such Scheduled Receivables that are Written Off Receivables, without giving effect to any Collections transferred to the Payment Account or Japanese Payment Account, as applicable on such date (each such amount being a “Purchase Price Adjustment”). The Administrative Agent shall calculate the amount of Purchase Price Adjustments owing by the relevant Sellers monthly in arrears at the end of each calendar month and shall provide notice of such amounts to the Servicer on or after the first Business Day of the following month.  The relevant Sellers (or the Servicer on their behalf) shall pay the amount of such Purchase Price Adjustments within 5 Business Days of receipt of such notice.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate of all Purchase Price Adjustments for Scheduled Receivables that were the object of a Purchase shall not exceed 10% of the Initial Purchase Price for such Scheduled Receivables.

 

2.12                        Repurchases of Purchased Assets: Deemed Collections

 

(a)                                 The Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, provided it has given the Servicer at least 5 Business Days’ prior notice, to contact the Obligor of any Scheduled Receivable that is a Defaulted Receivable to inquire why it has become a Defaulted Receivable.  The Servicer, on behalf of the relevant Seller, shall have the option to repurchase from the Purchaser at any time, any Scheduled Receivable and the Related Security relating thereto that becomes a Defaulted Receivable, by giving notice to the Administrative Agent and by depositing to the Payment Account or Japanese Yen Payment Account, as applicable as a Deemed Collection, an amount equal to the outstanding Principal Amount of such Defaulted Receivable. Upon the Servicer making such deposit, the related Scheduled Receivable and Related Security shall be deemed to be assigned, transferred, sold and conveyed to the relevant Seller, free and clear of any security interest or adverse claim arising through the Purchasers but otherwise without representation or warranty and thereafter all collections in respect thereof shall not be Collections.  In the event that the Servicer advises the Administrative Agent that it will repurchase any Defaulted Receivable and does so within 5 days, the Administrative Agent shall not contact the related Obligor as provided hereunder.

 

(b)                                 In the event that any Scheduled Receivable is subject to a Dilution, the Servicer on behalf of the relevant Seller shall deposit the amount of such Dilution to the Payment Account or Japanese Yen Payment Account, as applicable as a Deemed Collection in respect of such Receivable.

 

(c)                                  In the event that any Scheduled Receivable is determined to have not been an Eligible Receivable on the date of the relevant Purchase, the relevant Seller (or the Servicer on their behalf) shall be required to repurchase such Receivable by depositing to the Payment Account or Japanese Yen Payment Account, as applicable, as a Deemed Collection, an amount equal to the outstanding Principal Amount of such Receivable. Upon the Servicer making such deposit, the related Scheduled Receivable and Related Security shall be deemed to be assigned, transferred, sold and conveyed to the relevant Seller free and clear of any security interest or adverse claim arising through the Purchasers but otherwise without representation or warranty and thereafter all collections in respect thereof shall not be Collections.

 

20











 

(d)                                 The Servicer, on behalf of the relevant Seller may offer to repurchase from the Purchasers at any time any Scheduled Receivable and the Related Security relating thereto, by giving notice to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Servicer in writing as to whether it accepts or rejects any such offer. In the event the Administrative Agent notifies the Servicer that such offer has been accepted, the Servicer shall deposit to the Payment Account or Japanese Yen Payment Account, as applicable, as a Deemed Collection, an amount equal to the outstanding Principal Amount of such Scheduled Receivable in the relevant currency of its denomination. Upon the Servicer making such deposit, the related Scheduled Receivable and Related Security shall be deemed to be assigned, transferred, sold and conveyed to the relevant Seller, free and clear of any security interest or adverse claim arising through the Purchasers but otherwise without representation or warranty and thereafter all collections in respect thereof shall not be Collections.

Each Seller has accounted for each sale of its Scheduled Receivables in its books and financial statements as sales, consistent with local generally accepted accounting principles. So long as local generally accepted accounting principles do not require otherwise, no Seller shall prepare financial statements which shall account for the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than as sales of the Scheduled Receivables by the Sellers to the Purchasers or in any other respect account for or treat the transactions contemplated hereby (including for accounting purposes, but excluding for tax reporting purposes and except as required by law) in any manner other than as sales of the Scheduled Receivables by the Sellers to the Purchasers.

(b)                                 Legal Sources of Funds. Each Seller has taken, and it shall continue to take, commercially reasonable measures appropriate to the circumstances, with respect to each holder of a direct interest in such Seller to ensure that funds invested by such holders in such Seller are derived from legal sources; provided, however, that none of the foregoing shall apply to any person or entity to the extent that its interest in such Seller is derived solely from securities traded through a public securities exchange subject to regulation by the United States of America, Canada or a provincial jurisdiction in Canada.

The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Purchaser to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, to inspect the properties, books or records of any Seller, or to take any action that exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Administrative Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Administrative Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

 

8.4                               Reliance by Administrative Agent

 

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon (i) any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and (ii) advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to any of the Sellers), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Purchased Asset as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Purchasers (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Purchasers) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Purchasers against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Purchasers (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Purchasers), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Purchasers and all future holders of the Purchased Assets.

 

8.5                               Notice of Termination

 

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Purchaser or a Seller referring to this Agreement, describing such Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event and stating that such notice is a “notice of termination.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Purchasers and the Collection Agent. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Purchasers (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Purchasers); provided, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event as they shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Purchasers.

 

37











 

8.6                               Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Purchasers

 

Each Purchaser expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor 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, without limitation, any review of the affairs of a Seller or any affiliate of a Seller, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Purchaser. Each Purchaser represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Sellers and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its purchases hereunder and enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or by which it is bound. Each Purchaser also represents and covenants that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates or any other Purchaser, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Sellers and their respective affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Purchasers by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Purchaser with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Seller or any affiliate of a Seller that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent, or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

 

8.7                               Indemnification

 

The Purchasers agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such and/or its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates (to the extent not reimbursed by the Sellers and without limiting the obligation of the Sellers to do so), ratably according to their respective Purchaser’s Investment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 8.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Purchaser’s Investment Limits shall have terminated and all Investments shall have been reduced to nil, ratably in accordance with such Purchaser’s Investment Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and disbursements) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent and/or its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates in any way relating to or arising out of, the Purchaser’s Investment Limits, this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent and/or its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that no Purchaser shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s and/or its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in its opinion, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or under any Transaction Document, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder or thereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any indemnification under this Section 8.7, this Section 8.7 applies whether

 

38











 

any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser or a third party. The agreements in this Section 8.7 shall survive the payment of all amounts payable hereunder.

 

8.8                               Agent in Its Individual Capacity

 

The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Seller as though such Agent were not an Agent and without any duty to account therefor to any other Person.  With respect to its Purchased Assets, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Purchaser” and “Purchasers” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

 

8.9                               Successor Administrative Agent

 

The Administrative Agent may resign as Agent upon 60 days’ written notice to the Purchasers and the Servicer.  If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, then the Required Purchasers shall appoint from among the Purchasers a successor agent for the Purchasers, which successor agent shall (unless a Termination Event under Section 7(a) or Section 7(f) shall have occurred and be continuing, in which instance any such appointment shall be immediately effective and shall not require any prior notice to or approval of the Servicer or any other Person) be subject to approval by the Servicer (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents (including without limitation the Security Documents), and the resigning Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents (including without limitation the Security Documents), and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent, any of the parties to this Agreement or any Transaction Document, or any holders of the Purchased Assets. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 20 days following a resigning Agent’s notice of resignation, the resigning Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Purchasers shall assume and perform all of the duties of such Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Purchasers appoint a successor agent as provided for above.  After any resigning Administrative Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 shall continue to apply to it with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the liability of each such Agent under Section 8.3 for (and the exclusion from any liability of any Purchaser to indemnify any such Agent under Section 8.7 in respect of) any such actions or omissions that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

8.10                        Determination Pursuant to Security Documents

 

In each circumstance where, under any provision of a Security Document or this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to grant or withhold any consent, exercise any remedy, make any determination or direct any action by the Administrative Agent under such Security Document, the Administrative Agent shall act in respect of such consent, exercise of remedies, determination or action, as the case may be, only with the consent of and at the direction of the Required Purchasers unless unanimity is required by the relevant agreement; provided, however, that no such consent of the Required Purchasers shall be required with respect to any consent, determination or other matter that is, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment, ministerial or administrative in nature or provided for in this Agreement, and provided that the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Purchasers, without the necessity of any further consent from any Purchaser, from time to time prior to a Termination Event, to release portions of the Collateral from the security interests and Liens imposed by

 

39









 

the Security Documents in connection with any dispositions of such portions of the Collateral permitted by the terms of this Agreement or the Security Documents or as may be required by law. In each circumstance where any consent of or direction from the Required Purchasers is required, the Administrative Agent shall send to the Purchasers a notice setting forth a description in reasonable detail of the matter as to which consent or direction is requested and the Administrative Agent’s proposed course of action with respect thereto.

 

8.11                        Merger of the Administrative Agent

 

Any Person into which the Administrative Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Administrative Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Administrative Agent shall be the successor hereunder and under the Transaction Documents of the Administrative Agent, without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or thereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto or thereto except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein or in any Transaction Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

SECTION 9 - MISCELLANEOUS

 

9.1                               Amendments and Waivers

 

Neither this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1.  The Required Purchasers, the Servicer and each Seller party to the relevant Transaction Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Purchasers, the Administrative Agent or the Collection Agent, as the case may be, and each Seller and the Servicer party to the relevant Transaction Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Transaction Documents or any Scheduled Receivables for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or any Scheduled Receivables or changing in any manner the rights of the Purchasers or of the Sellers or the Obligors hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Purchasers or the Collection Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or any Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) reduce the stated rate or amount of any interest, or fee payable hereunder or extend the date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount of any Purchaser’s Investment Limit, in each case without the written consent of each Purchaser directly affected thereby; (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Purchaser under this Section 9.1 without the written consent of such Purchaser; (iii) (A) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Purchasers, (B) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Seller of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (C) release any Seller from its obligations or any Collateral (except as otherwise expressly permitted hereunder without such consent) or release the Guarantor under the Guarantee, or (D) amend or modify the definition of “Applicable Margin”, “Funding Cost Amount”, “Investment”, “Obligations”, “Scheduled Receivable”, “Receivable” or “Eligible Receivable” or Sections 2.3, 2.6(a) or (b), 2.9, 5.13 or 9.7 in this Agreement or “Secured Parties” in the Collection Account Pledge Agreement, or amend, modify or waive Section 9, in each case without the written consent of all Purchasers; or (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8 without the written consent of the Administrative Agent. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Purchasers and shall be binding upon the Sellers, the  Purchasers, the Administrative Agent, the Collection Agent and all future holders of the Purchased Assets. In the case of any waiver, the Sellers, the Purchasers, the Administrative Agent and the Collection Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights

 

40











 

hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, and any Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event, or impair any right consequent thereon.

9.3                               No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies

 

No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Sellers, the Collection Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

 

9.4                               Survival of Representations and Warranties

 

All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Transaction Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the purchases hereunder.

 

9.5                               Payment of Expenses and Taxes

 

(a)                                 The Sellers jointly and severally agree (provided that each of Celestica Czech Republic, Celestica Valencia and Celestica Romania shall only be responsible hereunder for the respective amount attributable to it) (i) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Collection Agent for all their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Collection Agent, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Servicer prior to the initial Purchase Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the initial Purchase Date, which are payable on such date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate and payable within 45 days of notice thereof to the Servicer; (ii) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Collection Agent for all their reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and of counsel to the Collection Agent; (iii) to pay, indemnify, and hold the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser and the Collection Agent harmless from, any and all documented recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any such other documents; and (iv) to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all reasonable and documented Indemnified Amounts to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with (1) the enforcement of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any such other

 

42











 

documents, (2) the reasonable and documented expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any indemnified person against the Sellers under any Transaction Document and any such other documents and (3) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto, and to reimburse each Indemnified Person upon demand for any legal or other reasonable and documented expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing; provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to Indemnified Amounts to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court to arise from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person. Except as specified above, all amounts due under this Section 9.5(a) shall be payable not later than 10 Business Days after written demand therefor. Statements payable by the Sellers pursuant to this Section 9.5(a) shall be submitted to the address of the Servicer set forth in Section 9.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Servicer in a written notice to the Purchaser. The agreements in this Section 9.5(a) shall survive payment of all amounts payable hereunder.

 

(b)                                 Each Indemnified Person under the provisions of Section 2.9 or 9.5(a) will, upon the service of a summons or other initial legal process upon it in any action or suit instituted against it or upon its receipt of written notification of the commencement of any investigation or inquiry of, or proceeding against, it in respect of which indemnity may be sought on account of the provisions contained in Section 2.9 or 9.5(a), promptly give written notice (the “Notice”) of such service or notification to the Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the omission so to notify the Servicer of any such service or notification shall not relieve the Sellers from any of the obligations under Section 2.9 or 9.5(a) that the Sellers may have to the Indemnified Person, except to the extent a Seller has been materially prejudiced thereby. Each Seller shall be entitled at its expense to participate in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding against, or investigation or inquiry of, an Indemnified Person. The affected Seller shall be entitled, if it so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of the Notice by giving written notice (the “Notice of Defense”) to the Indemnified Person, to assume the entire defense of such action, suit, investigation, inquiry or proceeding, in which event such defense shall be conducted, at the expense of such Seller, by counsel chosen by such Seller and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; provided, however, that (i) if a single counsel has assumed the defense of both the Indemnified Person and the affected Seller or Sellers and the Indemnified Person reasonably determines that there may be a conflict between the positions of such Seller or Sellers and the positions of the Indemnified Person in conducting the defense of such action, suit, investigation, inquiry or proceeding or that there may be legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person different from or in addition to those available to the Seller, then counsel for the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to conduct the defense to the extent reasonably determined by such counsel to be necessary to protect the interests of the Indemnified Person and (ii) in any event, the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to have counsel chosen by such Indemnified Person participate in, but not conduct, the defense. If, within a reasonable time after receipt of the Notice, the affected Seller gives a Notice of Defense and the counsel chosen by such Seller is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, such Seller will not be liable under the preceding paragraph for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of the action, suit, investigation, inquiry or proceeding, except that (1) such Seller shall bear the legal and other expenses incurred in connection with the conduct of the defense as referred to in clause (i) of the proviso to the preceding sentence and (2) such Seller shall bear such other expenses as they have authorized in writing in advance to be incurred by the Indemnified Person. If, within a reasonable time after receipt of the Notice, no Notice of Defense has been given, the affected Seller shall be responsible for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of the action, suit, investigation, inquiry or proceeding. The Sellers shall not be liable for any settlement of

 

43











 

any such action, suit or proceeding effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), but if settled with their prior written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, suit or proceeding, the Sellers jointly and severally agree (provided that each of Celestica Czech Republic, Celestica Valencia and Celestica Romania shall only be responsible hereunder for the respective amount attributable to it) to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. The Sellers shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is a party or in respect of which indemnity could have been sought under the preceding paragraph by such Indemnified Person unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

 

9.6                               Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments

 

(a)                                 This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Sellers, the Servicer, the Purchasers, the Administrative Agent, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that neither the Sellers nor the Servicer (in its capacity as such) may assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Purchaser.

 

(b)                                 Any Purchaser may, without the consent of the Servicer or the Sellers, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Purchased Assets co-owned by such Purchaser, the Purchaser’s commitment to purchase Receivables up to the Investment Limits of such Purchaser or any related interest of such Purchaser hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents. In the event of any such sale by any Purchaser of a participating interest to a Participant, except as otherwise provided herein, such Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Purchaser shall remain the holder of any such Purchased Assets for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and the Servicer, the Sellers, the Administrative Agent and the Collection Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The Servicer and each Seller agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9 with respect to its participation in the Purchaser’s commitment to purchase Receivables up to its Investment Limits and the Purchased Assets outstanding from time to time as if it was a Purchaser; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Purchaser would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Purchaser to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

 

(c)                                  Any Purchaser (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to any Purchaser or any Purchaser Affiliate or, with the prior written consent of the Servicer (which, in each case, may not be unreasonably withheld but may be withheld if the Servicer determines in its sole judgment that such assignment may have an adverse impact on the economics or administration of the transactions contemplated hereunder, impacts on other banking and financial relationships or would permit a competitor or potential competitor to become involved in such transactions or privy to confidential or commercially sensitive information), and the Administrative Agent, to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and any Purchased Assets then owned by it, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance

 

44











 

executed by such Assignee, such Assignor and any other Person whose consent is required pursuant to this paragraph, and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register. Unless otherwise agreed by the Servicer and the Administrative Agent, no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Purchaser or any Purchaser Affiliate) shall be in an amount of less than $5,000,000, in each case except in the case of an assignment of all of a Purchaser’s Investment Limits under this Agreement. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the amount described therein shall be aggregated in respect of each Purchaser and its Purchaser Affiliates, if any. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser hereunder with the Purchaser’s Investment Limits and/or share of the Investments as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.7, 2.8, 2.9 and 9.5 for the period of time it was a Purchaser hereunder); provided that no Assignee shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to Section 2.7, 2.8 or 2.9 than the Assignor would have been entitled to receive in respect of the portion of the rights and obligations assigned by such Assignor to such Assignee had no such assignment occurred.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9.6, the consent of the Servicer shall not be required for any assignment that occurs when a Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing (although in such event, the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence shall continue in full force and effect).

 

(d)                                 The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Servicer, maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Purchasers and the Purchaser’s Investment Limit of, and the amount of the Purchased Assets co-owned by each Purchaser from time to time.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Servicer, each Seller, the Administrative Agent, the Collection Agent and the Purchasers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the co-owner of the Purchased Assets recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement.  Any assignment of any Purchased Assets shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Purchaser, the Servicer or any Seller at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(e)                                  Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor, an Assignee and any other Person whose consent is required by Section 9.6(c), together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $4,000 (which shall be the sole responsibility of the Assignor or Assignee, as the case may be), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register on the effective date determined pursuant thereto.

 

(f)                                   For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 9.6 concerning assignments relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Purchaser to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

9.7                               Adjustments; Set-off

 

(a)                                 Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Purchaser, if any Purchaser (a “Benefitted Purchaser”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Purchaser, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Purchaser, such Benefitted Purchaser shall purchase for cash from the other Purchasers a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Purchaser, or shall provide such other Purchasers with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Purchaser to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Purchasers; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Purchaser, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

 

(b)                                 In addition to any rights and remedies of the Purchasers provided by law, each Purchaser shall have the right, without prior notice to the Sellers, any such notice being expressly waived by the Sellers to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Sellers hereunder, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Purchasers or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Sellers, as the case may be. Each Purchaser agrees promptly to notify the Servicer and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Purchaser; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

 

9.8                               Counterparts

 

This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Servicer and the Administrative Agent.

 

9.9                               Severability

 

Any provision of this Agreement that is 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.

 

9.10                        Integration

 

This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, together with the Fee Letter, represent the entire agreement of the Sellers, the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Transaction Documents.

 

9.11                        Governing Law

 

This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties under this agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the Province of Ontario.

 

46











 

9.12                        Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers

 

Each Seller hereby appoints the Servicer as its agent to receive service of process hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents in any proceeding in the courts of the Province of Ontario, Canada, and appellate courts from any thereof, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

 

(a)                                 submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario, Canada, and appellate courts from any thereof;

 

(b)                                 consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and expressly and irrevocably waives (i) any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court, or (ii) that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same, and (iii) any right to any other jurisdiction that may apply by virtue of its present or future domicile or for any other reason;

 

(c)                                  consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.2 and agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

 

(d)                                 waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 9.12 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

 

9.13                        Judgment Currency

 

The obligations of each Seller under this Agreement and each other Transaction Document and the obligations to make payments to the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “judgment currency”) other than Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such party of any sum adjudged to be so due in the judgment currency, such party may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase Dollars with the judgment currency. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such party in Dollars, each Seller agrees jointly and severally (provided that each of Celestica Czech Republic, Celestica Valencia and Celestica Romania shall only be responsible hereunder for the respective amount attributable to it), as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such party against such documented loss, and if the amount of Dollars so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, such party agrees to remit promptly to the Servicer such excess.

 

9.14                        Interest Act

 

For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), whenever any interest on any amount payable hereunder is calculated on the basis of a period of time other than a calendar year, the annual rate of interest to which each rate of interest determined pursuant to such calculation is equivalent is such rate as so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by the number of days used in the basis for such determination.

 

9.15                        Confirmation of Guarantee

 

The Guarantor hereby confirms and agrees that (i) the Guarantee is and shall continue to be in full force and effect and is otherwise hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects; and (ii) the Guarantee is and shall continue to be an unconditional and irrevocable guarantee of all of the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee).

SCHEDULE 3.9

 

To the Receivables Purchase Agreement

 

TAXES

 

Celestica Czech Republic

 

1.              Value added tax on the Commitment Fee payable by it — recoverable upon meeting standard value added tax recovery rules and receipt of information from the Purchasers for its recovery filing purposes.

 

2.              Withholding tax may be payable by it on any payment having the nature of interest (e.g., the difference between the Purchase Price for Scheduled Receivables and the Principal Amount of Scheduled Receivables purchased). Withholding tax may, however, be eliminated by applicable double tax treaties (e.g., the Purchasers are tax residents of the United States or Germany).

1.              Value added tax on the factoring fee and related fees treated as ancillary to the main factoring service is to be counted for by Celestica Romania through the reverse charge mechanism, as long as the Purchaser does not raise a fixed establishment - for VAT purposes - in Romania;

Withholding tax at domestic rate will be due by the Purchaser and will be actually payable by Celestica Romania on any payment having the nature of interest, to the extent the Purchaser is not deemed to have a permanent establishment in Romania to which such interest incomes are attributable. Withholding tax rate may be however reduced or even eliminated under the relevant treaty for the avoidance of double taxation, provided that:

 

A certificate of fiscal residence is made available by the recipient of the said income prior to any such payment being made pursuant the Agreement; and there is no “net-of-tax” arrangement assumed by Celestica Romania.]

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Schedule 3.9 or anywhere in the Receivables Purchase Agreement (as amended by this Amending Agreement), Celestica Romania makes no representation concerning any taxes, levies, impost, deductions, charges or withholdings to which the Romania/Germany Tax Treaty applies.

2.             Withholding tax will be applicable to any payment to the Purchaser (i) if interest component of the relevant Scheduled Receivable is specified or apparent under the relevant Contract, with respect to such component of interest and (ii) if the sale and purchase of the Scheduled Receivables are re-characterized as financing for tax purposes, with respect to the difference between the Purchase Price for Scheduled Receivables and the Principal Amount of Scheduled Receivables purchased.

 

3.              Stamp duties in the nominal amount will be imposed on the originals of the Receivables Purchase Agreement or the Assignment Agreement if executed and delivered in Japan.

EXHIBIT G GUARANTEE

 

GUARANTEE, dated as of November 23, 2005, made by CELESTICA INC., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada (the “Guarantor”), in favor of DEUTSCHE BANK AG NEW YORK, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), under the Revolving Trade Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of November 23, 2005 (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”) among the entities named therein as sellers (each, a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”), Celestica Inc., as servicer (in such capacity, the “Service?), the Administrative Agent, and the entities and financial institutions named therein as purchasers (the “Purchasers”).

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers have agreed to purchase Scheduled Receivables from the Sellers upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein; and

 

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the obligation of the Purchasers to make their initial purchase under the Receivables Purchase Agreement that the Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guarantee to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce the Purchasers to enter into the Receivables Purchase Agreement and to induce the Purchasers to purchase Scheduled Receivables thereunder, the Guarantor hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent as follows:

 

Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

 

Guarantee. (a) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor, to the Purchasers and their respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Sellers when due of the Obligations.

 

The Guarantor further agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, all fees and disbursements of counsel) which may be paid or incurred by the Purchasers in enforcing, or obtaining advice of counsel in respect of, any rights with respect to, or collecting, any or all of the Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting against, the Guarantor under this Guarantee.

 

The Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder for the Obligations until the Obligations are paid in full.

 

15











 

No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Guarantor hereunder, or any set-off or application of funds of the Guarantor by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Purchaser, the Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Purchaser against the Sellers or against any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Purchaser for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Sellers in respect of payments made by the Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Purchasers by the Sellers on account of the Obligations are paid in full.

 

Amendments, etc. with respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights. The Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against the Guarantor, and without notice to or further assent by the Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Purchasers may be rescinded by the Purchasers, and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Purchasers, and the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and the other Transaction Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Purchasers may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Purchasers for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. None of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Purchasers shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by them or on its behalf as security for the Obligations or for this Guarantee or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and any Purchaser may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on the Sellers or any other guarantor, and any failure by the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers to make any such demand or to collect any payments from the Sellers or any such other guarantor or any release of the Sellers or such other guarantor shall not relieve the Guarantor of its obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or, to the extent permitted by law, as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers against the Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

 

Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Purchasers upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Guarantee; and all dealings between the Sellers or the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Sellers or the Guarantor with respect

 

16











 

to the Obligations. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Receivables Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any of the Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Purchasers, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Sellers against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Sellers or the Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Sellers for the Obligations, or of the Guarantor under this Guarantee, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Purchasers may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as they may have against the Sellers or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) any failure by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Purchasers to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Sellers or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or (ii) any release of the Sellers or any such other Person or of any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve the Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Purchasers against the Guarantor. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantor and its successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, until all the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall have been satisfied by payment in full.

 

Reinstatement. This Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Purchaser upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Seller, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Seller or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

 

Payments. The Guarantor hereby agrees that the Obligations will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars to the Payment Account.

 

Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future Indemnified Taxes. If any such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Purchasers (after payment of all Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes) the amounts payable

 

17











 

hereunder that the Purchasers would have received if such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes had not been withheld or deducted from such amounts.

 

In addition, the Guarantor shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

Whenever any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Guarantor, as promptly as possible thereafter the Guarantor shall send to the Administrative Agent, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Guarantor showing payment thereof. If the Guarantor fails to pay any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Guarantor shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser as a result of any such failure.

 

The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Guarantee and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder.

 

Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent or the Guarantor to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy) and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made (a) if by hand, when delivered or (b) if by telecopy or by courier, when received by the addressee, addressed to the Administrative Agent at its address or transmission number for notices provided in Section 9.2 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement or, in the case of the Guarantor, at its address or transmission number for notices provided on the signature page of this Guarantee. The Administrative Agent and the Guarantor may change their respective address and transmission numbers for notices by notice in the manner provided in this Section.

 

Severability. Any provision of this Guarantee that is 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.

 

Integration. This Guarantee and the other Transaction Documents represent the agreement of the Guarantor with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises or representations by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser relative to the subject matter hereof not reflected herein or in the other Transaction Documents.

 

Amendments in Writing; No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. (a) None of the terms or provisions of this Guarantee may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the Guarantor and the Administrative Agent, provided that any provision of this Guarantee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in a letter or agreement executed by the Administrative Agent or by facsimile transmission from the Administrative Agent.

 

18











 

The Administrative Agent shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to paragraph 12(a) hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent would otherwise have on any future occasion.

 

The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

 

Section Headings. The section headings used in this Guarantee are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

 

Successors and Assigns. This Guarantee shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns. The Guarantor may not assign its obligations hereunder without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and any such purported assignment will be null and void ab initio.

 

Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

 

submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Guarantee, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in the City of New York, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

 

consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

 

in any such action or proceeding in such New York State or U.S. federal court sitting in New York City, such service may be made on the Guarantor by delivering a copy of such process to the Guarantor at its address;

 

agrees that nothing in this Guarantee shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

 

19











 

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

 

16. Governing Law. This Guarantee shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of principles, except as set forth in Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law.

EXHIBIT H

 

(Lockbox - With Activation)

 

DEPOSIT ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT

 

This Agreement is entered into as of November 23, 2005, among Celestica · (“Company”), Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas on behalf of the Purchasers (“Collection Agent”), and Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank”) with respect to the following:

 

Bank has agreed to establish and maintain for Company the post office number(s) set forth on Schedule A to this Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Lockbox Address”), the deposit account(s) set forth on Schedule B to this Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Collection Account”) and deposit account number · (the “Concentration Account”, and together with the Collection Account, the “Accounts”). Bank performs the services described in Exhibit A, which includes receiving mail at the Lockbox Address, processing it and depositing checks and other payment instructions (“Checks”) into the Account (the “Lockbox Service”).

 

Collection Agent has been appointed pursuant to the Collection Account Pledge Agreement dated as of November 23, 2005 between Collection Agent, Company, Celestica Inc. and certain other affiliates of Celestica Inc. (the “Collection Account Pledge Agreement”) and Company has assigned to Collection Agent a security interest in the Accounts.

 

Company, Collection Agent and Bank are entering into this Agreement to evidence Collection Agent’s security interest in the Accounts and to provide for the disposition of net proceeds of Checks deposited in the Accounts.

 

Accordingly, Company, Collection Agent and Bank agree as follows:

 

1.             (a) This Agreement evidences Collection Agent’s control over the Account.

 

Company represents and warrants to Collection Agent and Bank that it has not assigned or granted a security interest in the Accounts, except to Collection Agent.

 

Company will not permit the Accounts to become subject to any other pledge, assignment, lien, charge or encumbrance of any kind, other than Collection Agent’s security interest referred to herein.

 

2. During the Activation Period (as defined below), Bank shall prevent Company from making any withdrawals from the Accounts. Prior to the Activation Period, Company may operate and transact business through the Accounts in its normal fashion, including making withdrawals from the Accounts, but covenants to Collection Agent it will not close the Accounts. Bank shall have no liability in the event Company breaches this covenant to Collection Agent.

 

Company and Collection Agent acknowledge and agree that Bank may debit the Accounts for any ACH credit entries (the “Entries”) that may have been originated by Company but that have not settled at the time of Bank’s receipt of the Notice (defined below) or for any Entries that are subsequently returned thereafter.

 

A reasonable period of time following the commencement of the Activation Period, and continuing on each Business Day thereafter, Bank shall transfer all available balances in the Collection Accounts to the Concentration Account for further credit to the Payment Account (as defined below). The “Activation Period” means the period which commences within a reasonable period of time not to exceed two Business Days after Bank’s receipt of a written notice that a “Termination Event” has occurred from Collection Agent in the form of Exhibit B (the “Notice”), a copy of which shall be sent to Company by Collection Agent. A “Business Day” is each day except Saturdays, Sundays and Bank holidays. Funds are not available if, in the reasonable determination of Bank, they are subject to a hold, dispute or legal process preventing their withdrawal. “Payment Account” means account no. 00448470 maintained at Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas.

 

22











 

3. Bank agrees it shall not offset, charge, deduct or otherwise withdraw funds from the Account, except as permitted by Section 4, until it has been advised in writing by Collection Agent that the Collection Agent’s interests in the Accounts being terminated shall notify Bank promptly in writing upon the Collection Agent’s interests in the Accounts being terminated.

 

4.             Bank is permitted to charge the relevant Accounts:

 

for its fees and charges relating to the Accounts or associated with the Lockbox Service and this Agreement; and

 

in the event any Check deposited into a Collection Account is returned unpaid for any reason or for any breach of warranty claim.

 

5. (a) If the balances in the Accounts are not sufficient to compensate Bank for any fees or charges due Bank in connection with the Accounts, the Lockbox Service or this Agreement, Company agrees to pay Bank on written demand the amount due Bank. Company will have breached this Agreement if it has not paid Bank, within 15 days after such demand, the amount due Bank.

 

(b) If the balances in the Accounts are not sufficient to compensate Bank for any returned Check, Company agrees to pay Bank on written demand the amount due Bank. Company will have breached this Agreement if it has not paid Bank, within five days after such demand, the amount due Bank.

 

(c) Company hereby authorizes Bank, without prior notice, from time to time to debit any other account Company may have with Bank for the amount or amounts due Bank under subsection 5(a) or 5(b).

 

6. (a) Each Business Day, Bank will send any Checks not processed in accordance with the Lockbox Service set-up documents as well as any other materials, such as invoices, received at the Lockbox Address plus information regarding the deposit for the day to the address specified below for Company or as otherwise specified in writing by Company to Bank, and will send a copy of the deposit advice to the address specified below for Collection Agent.

 

(b)           In addition to the original Bank statement provided to Company, Bank will provide Collection Agent with a duplicate of such statement.

 

7. (a) Bank will not be liable to Company or Collection Agent for any expense, claim, loss, damage or cost (“Damages”) arising out of or relating to its performance under this Agreement other than those Damages which result directly from its acts or omissions constituting negligence or intentional misconduct.

 

In no event will Bank be liable for any special, indirect, exemplary or consequential damages, including but not limited to lost profits.

 

Bank will be excused from failing to act or delay in acting, and no such failure or delay shall constitute a breach of this Agreement or otherwise give rise to any liability of Bank, if (i) such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond Bank’s reasonable control, including but not limited to legal constraint, emergency conditions, action or inaction of governmental, civil or military authority, fire, strike, lockout or other labor dispute, war, riot, theft, flood, earthquake or other natural disaster, breakdown of public or private or common carrier communications or transmission facilities, equipment failure, or negligence or default of Company or Collection Agent or (ii) such failure or delay resulted from Bank’s reasonable belief that the action would have violated any guideline, rule or regulation of any governmental authority.

 

Bank shall have no duty to inquire or determine whether Company’s obligations to Collection Agent are in default or whether Collection Agent is entitled to provide the Notice to Bank. Bank may rely on notices and communications it believes in good faith to be genuine and given by the appropriate party.

 

Notwithstanding any of the other provisions in this Agreement, in the event of the commencement of a case pursuant to Title 11, United States Code, filed by or against Company, or in the event of the commencement of any similar case under then applicable federal or state law providing for the relief of debtors or the protection of creditors by or against

 

23











 

Company, Bank may act as Bank deems necessary to comply with all applicable provisions of governing statutes and shall not be in violation of this Agreement as a result.

 

Bank shall be permitted to comply with any writ, levy order or other similar judicial or regulatory order or process concerning the Lockbox Address, the Accounts or any Check and shall not be in violation of this Agreement for so doing.

 

8. Company hereby agrees to indemnify Bank against, and hold it harmless from, any and all liabilities, claims, costs, expenses and damages of any nature (including but not limited to allocated costs of staff counsel, other reasonable attorney’s fees and any fees and expenses) in any way arising out of or relating to disputes or legal actions concerning Bank’s provision of the services described in this Agreement. This section does not apply to any cost or damage attributable to the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Bank. Company’s and Collection Agent’s obligations under this section shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

9. Company agrees to pay to Bank, upon receipt of Bank’s invoice, all costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs for in house legal services) incurred by Bank in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and any instrument or agreement required hereunder, including but not limited to any such costs, expenses and fees arising out of the resolution of any conflict, dispute, motion regarding entitlement to rights or rights of action, or other action to enforce Bank’s rights in a case arising under Title 11, United States Code. Company agrees to pay Bank, upon receipt of Bank’s invoice, all costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs for in-house legal services) incurred by Bank in the preparation and administration of this Agreement (including any amendments hereto or instruments or agreements required hereunder).

 

10.          Termination and Assignment of this Agreement shall be as follows:

 

Collection Agent may terminate this Agreement by providing notice to Company and Bank. Collection Agent may also terminate or it may assign this Agreement upon 30 day’s prior written notice to Company and Bank. Bank may terminate this Agreement upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Company and Collection Agent. Company may not terminate this Agreement or the Lockbox Service except with the written consent of Collection Agent and upon prior written notice to Bank.

 

Notwithstanding subsection 10(a), Bank may terminate this Agreement at any time by written notice to Company and Collection Agent if either Company or Collection Agent breaches any of the terms of this Agreement, or any other agreement with Bank.

 

11. (a) Each party represents and warrants to the other parties that (i) this Agreement constitutes its duly authorized, legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation; (ii) the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder will not (A) constitute or result in a breach of its certificate or articles of incorporation, by-laws or partnership agreement, as applicable, (B) result in the violation of any law, regulation, judgment, decree or governmental order applicable to it; and (iii) all approvals and authorizations required to permit the execution, delivery, performance and consummation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder have been obtained.

 

(b) The parties each agree that it shall be deemed to make and renew each representation and warranty in subsection 11(a) on and as of each day on which Company uses the services set forth in this Agreement.

 

12. (a) This Agreement may be amended only by a writing signed by Company, Collection Agent and Bank; except that Bank’s charges are subject to change by Bank upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Company.

 

(b)           This Agreement may be executed in counterparts; all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

 

This Agreement controls in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any other document or written or oral statement. This Agreement supersedes all prior understandings, writings, proposals, representations and communications, oral or written, of any party relating to the subject matter hereof.

 

24









 

This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with New York law without reference to that state’s principles of conflicts of law. For purposes of this Agreement and

 

Section 9-304(b) of the Uniform Commercial Code, the parties agree that the “bank’s jurisdiction” is the State of New York.

 

Any written notice or other written communication to be given under this Agreement shall be addressed to each party at its address set forth on the signature page of this Agreement or to such other address as a party may specify in writing. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any such notice shall be effective upon receipt.

 

Nothing contained in the Agreement shall create any agency, fiduciary, joint venture or partnership relationship between Bank and Company or Collection Agent. Company and Collection Agent agree that nothing contained in this Agreement, nor any course of dealing among the parties to this Agreement, shall constitute a commitment or other obligation on the part of Bank to extend credit to Company or Collection Agent.

 

This Agreement is executed and delivered by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas not in its individual capacity but solely as Collection Agent in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred on it pursuant to the Collection Account Pledge Agreement. Company and Bank hereby agree that Collection Agent is released from any and all liabilities to Company and Bank arising from the terms of this Agreement and the compliance of Collection Agent with the terms hereof, except to the extent that such liabilities arise from Collection Agent’s bad faith, wilful misconduct or gross negligence. The provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the earlier resignation or removal of Collection Agent. Collection Agent shall be entitled to the same rights, protections and indemnities afforded to it under the Collection Account Pledge Agreement.

Exhibit A TO DEPOSIT ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT

 

STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

The Lockbox Service involves processing Checks that are received at a Lockbox Address. With this Service, Company instructs its customers to mail checks it wants to have processed under the Service to the Lockbox Address. Bank picks up mail at the Lockbox Address according to its mail pick-up schedule. Bank will have unrestricted and exclusive access to the mail directed to the Lockbox Address. Bank will provide Company with the Lockbox Service for a Lockbox Address when Company has completed and Bank has received Bank’s then current set-up documents for the Lockbox Address.

 

If Bank receives any mail containing Company’s lockbox number at Bank’s lockbox operations location (instead of the Lockbox Address), Bank may handle the mail as if it had been received at the Lockbox Address.

 

PROCESSING

 

Bank will handle Checks received at the Lockbox Address according to the applicable deposit account agreement, as if the Checks were delivered by Company to Bank for deposit to the Account, except as modified by these Terms and Conditions.

 

Bank will open the envelopes picked up from the Lockbox Address and remove the contents. For the Lockbox Address, Checks and other documents contained in the envelopes will be inspected and handled in the manner specified in the Company’s set-up documents. Bank captures and reports information related to the lockbox processing, where available, if Company has specified this option in the set-up documents. Bank will endorse all Checks Bank processes on Company’s behalf.

 

If Bank processes an unsigned check as instructed in the set-up documents, and the check is paid, but the account owner does not authorize payment, Company agrees to indemnify Bank, the drawee bank (which may include Bank) and any intervening collecting bank for any liability or expense incurred by such indemnitee due to the payment and collection of the check.

 

If Company instructs Bank not to process a check bearing a handwritten or typed notation “Payment in Full” or words of similar import on the face of the check, Company understands that Bank has adopted procedures designed to detect Checks bearing such notations; however, Bank will not be liable to Company or any other party for losses suffered if Bank fails to detect Checks bearing such notations.

 

27











 

RETURNED CHECK

 

Unless Company and Bank agree to another processing procedure, Bank will reclear a Check once which has been returned and marked “Refer to Maker,” “Not Sufficient Funds” or “Uncollected Funds.” If the Check is returned for any other reason or if the Check is returned a second time, Bank will debit the Account and return the Check to Company. Company agrees

 

that Bank will not send a returned item notice to Company for a returned Check unless Company and Bank have agreed otherwise.

 

ACCEPTABLE PAYEES

 

For the Lockbox Address, Company will provide to Bank the names of Acceptable Payees (“Acceptable Payee” means Company’s name and any other payee name provided to Bank by Company as an acceptable payee for Checks to be processed under the Lockbox Service). Bank will process a check only if it is made payable to an Acceptable Payee and if the check is otherwise processable. Company warrants that each Acceptable Payee is either (i) a variation of Company’s name or (ii) is an affiliate of Company which has authorized Checks payable to it to be credited to the Account. Bank may treat as an Acceptable Payee any variation of any Acceptable Payee’s name that Bank deems to be reasonable.

 

CHANGES TO PROCESSING INSTRUCTIONS

 

Company may request Bank orally or in writing to make changes to the processing instructions (including changes to Acceptable Payees) for any Lockbox Address by contacting its Bank representative, so long as such changes do not conflict with the terms of the Deposit Account Control Agreement. Bank will not be obligated to implement any requested changes until Bank has actually received the requests and had a reasonable opportunity to act upon them. In making changes, Bank is entitled to rely on instructions purporting to be from Company.

Attention: Peter T. Becker

 

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter is intended to memorialize certain understandings between us in connection with your agreement to act as Collection Agent for us under and pursuant to the Collection Account Pledge Agreement dated as of November 23, 2005 among Celestica Corporation, Celestica Italia Srl, Celestica Czech Republic S.R.O., Celestica Holdings Pte. Ltd., Celestica Valencia S.A., and Celestica Hong Kong Ltd., as Assignors, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Collection Agent (the “Collection Agent”) and the Collection Agency and Account Agreement dated as of November 23, 2005 among Celestica Corporation, Celestica Inc. and the Collection Agent. These two agreements are referred to collectively herein as the “Security Documents”. Capitalized terms used herein have the meaning assigned thereto under the Revolving Trade Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of November 23, 2005 among Celestica Inc., Celestica Corporation, Celestica Italia Srl, Celestica Czech Republic S.R.O., Celestica Holdings Pte. Ltd., Celestica Valencia S.A. and Celestica Hong Kong Ltd., the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties thereto as purchasers and Deutsche Bank AG New York, as Administrative Agent (the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”).

 

Appointment. We hereby designate and appoint the Collection Agent as our agent under the Security Documents, and irrevocably authorize the Collection Agent to take such action on our behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collection Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including, without limitation, (a) receiving all applicable notices referred to in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents on our behalf, (b) giving all applicable notices referred to in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to or on our behalf, and (c) receiving payments and deposits from the Sellers and the Servicer, and giving release and acquittance therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Transaction Documents, the Collection Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the Transaction Documents, or any fiduciary relationship with us, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any Transaction Document or otherwise exist against the Collection Agent. The provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Collection Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact and affiliates, and no other Person shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. The Collection Agent shall perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents with reasonable care, using a degree of skill and

 

32











 

attention no less than that which the Collection Agent (i) exercises with respect to comparable duties that it performs when holding comparable assets for itself and (ii) exercises with respect to comparable administrative duties that it performs for comparable assets for others, and in a manner consistent with the standard of care exercised by similar administrators relating to the duties to be performed hereunder.

 

Delegation of Duties. The Collection Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents by or through agents, custodians, nominees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Collection Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, custodians, nominees or attorneys-in -fact selected by it with reasonable care.

 

Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Collection Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have proximately resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any Person (including without limitation any of the Purchasers) for (A) any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Person (other than the Collection Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates) contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collection Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any Transaction Document, (B) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, collectability, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document , (C) any Liens or guarantees (including without limitation pursuant to any Guarantee Obligation) granted by, or purported to be granted by, any of the Security Documents or otherwise, (D) ascertaining or inquiring as to the existence or possible existence of any Termination Event, or (E) any failure of any party hereto or thereto (other than the Collection Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates) to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Collection Agent shall not be under any obligation to the Purchasers to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, to inspect the properties, books or records of the Sellers or the Servicer, or to take any action that exposes the Collection Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Collection Agent be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Collection Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

 

Reliance by Collection Agent. The Collection Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon (i) any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent,

 

33











 

certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and (ii) advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Sellers and the Servicer), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Collection Agent. The Collection Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Purchasers as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Purchasers against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Collection Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents in accordance with a request of the Purchasers, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all future holders of the Purchased Interests.

 

Notice of Termination. The Collection Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event unless the Collection. Agent has received notice from the Administrative Agent or a Purchaser or the Sellers or the Servicer referring to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, describing such Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event and stating that such notice is a “notice of termination.” The Collection Agent shall take such action with respect to such Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event as shall be reasonably directed by the Purchasers; provided, that unless and until the Collection Agent shall have received such directions, the Collection Agent, as the case may be, may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Purchasers.

 

Non-Reliance on Agent . Each Purchaser expressly acknowledges that neither the Collection Agent nor 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 Collection Agent hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of the Sellers or the Servicer or any affiliate of the Sellers or the Servicer, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Collection Agent to the Purchasers. Each Purchaser represents to the Collection Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Collection Agent, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Sellers and the Servicer and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its purchases hereunder and enter into the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or by which it is bound. Each Purchaser also represents and covenants that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Collection Agent, any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Sellers, the Servicer and their Affiliates. The Collection Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide the Purchasers with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition

 

34









 

(financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Sellers, the Servicer or any affiliate of the Sellers and the Servicer that may come into the possession of the Collection Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

 

Indemnification. Each Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Collection Agent in its capacity as such and/or its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates (to the extent not reimbursed by the Sellers and the Servicer and without limiting the obligation of the Sellers and the Servicer to do so), ratably according to their respective Purchaser’s Investment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Purchaser’s Investment Limits shall have terminated and all Investments shall have been reduced to nil, ratably in accordance with such Purchaser’s Investment Percentages immediately prior to such date) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and disbursements) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Collection Agent and/or its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates in any way relating to or arising out of, the Purchaser’s Investment Limits, this Agreement, the Receivables Purchase Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Collection Agent and/or its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that the Purchasers shall not be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Collection Agent’s and/or its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to the Collection Agent for any purpose shall, in its opinion, be insufficient or become impaired, the Collection Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. None of the provisions of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents shall require the Collection Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or under any Transaction Document, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder or thereunder, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any indemnification hereunder, this provision applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Collection Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers or a third party. The agreements herein shall survive the payment of all amounts payable hereunder until the termination of the Security Documents and the earlier resignation or removal of the Collection Agent.

 

Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Collection Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Sellers and the Servicer as though the Collection Agent were not an Agent and without any duty to account therefor to any other Person.

 

35











 

Successor Administrative Agent and Collection Agent. The Collection Agent may resign as Agent upon 20 days’ written notice to the Purchasers. If the Collection Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, then the Purchasers shall appoint a successor agent for the Purchasers, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Collection Agent under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents (including without limitation the Security Documents), and the resigning Collection Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents (including without limitation the Security Documents), and the term “Collection Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Collection Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Collection Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers or any holders of the Purchased Interests. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Collection Agent, as the case may be, by the date that is 20 days following notice of resignation, the resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Purchasers shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Collection Agent hereunder and under the Transaction Documents until such time, if any, as the Purchasers appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After the Collection Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this paragraph shall continue to apply to it with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collection Agent under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the liability of the Collection Agent hereunder for (and the exclusion from any liability of the Purchasers to indemnify the Collection Agent hereunder in respect of) any such actions or omissions that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Collection Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

Determination Pursuant to Security Documents. In each circumstance where, under any provision of a Security Document or this Agreement, the Collection Agent shall have the right to grant or withhold any consent, exercise any remedy, make any determination or direct any action by the Collection Agent under such Security Document, the Collection Agent shall act in respect of such consent, exercise of remedies, determination or action, as the case may be, only with the consent of and at the direction of the Purchaser; provided, however, that no such consent of the Purchasers shall be required with respect to any consent, determination or other matter that is, in the Collection Agent’s reasonable judgment, ministerial or administrative in nature or provided for in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, and provided that the Collection Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of the Purchasers, without the necessity of any further consent from the Purchasers, from time to time prior to a Termination Event, to release portions of the Collateral from the security interests and Liens imposed by the Security Documents in connection with any dispositions of such portions of the Collateral permitted by the terms of this Agreement or the Security Documents or as may be required by law. In each circumstance where any consent of or direction from the Purchasers is required, the Collection Agent shall send to the Purchasers a notice setting forth a description in reasonable detail of the matter as to which consent or direction is requested and the Collection Agent’s proposed course of action with respect thereto.

 

Merger of the Collection Agent. Any Person into which the Collection Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collection Agent shall be a party, or any

 

36











 

Person succeeding to the business of the Collection Agent shall be the successor hereunder and under the Transaction Documents of the Collection Agent, without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or thereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto or thereto except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein or in any Transaction Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

 

37











 

If the foregoing is in accordance with our agreement, please sign and return to us a counterpart of this Agreement, whereupon it will become a binding agreement between us.

42











 

Signatories”), specimen signatures for each Authorised Signatory, a copy of the picture page of the passport of each Authorised Signatory and any other document or item of evidence the Bank may reasonably request in accordance with usual “know your client” best practice.

 

3. Bank agrees it shall not set off, charge, deduct or otherwise withdraw funds from the Account, except as permitted by Section 4, until it has been advised in writing by Collateral Agent that Collateral Agent’s interests in the Account have been terminated.

5. (a) If the balances in the Account are not sufficient to compensate Bank for any fees, charges or costs due Bank in connection with the Account or this Deed, Company agrees to pay Bank on demand the amount of such fees, charges or costs.

 

If as the result of a Permitted Debit the Account becomes overdrawn in any amount (an “Overdrawn Amount”), Company shall pay Bank on demand an amount equal to that Overdrawn Amount together with related interest and the Bank’s reasonable costs.

Bank will be excused from failing to act or delay in acting, and no such failure or delay shall constitute a breach of this Deed or otherwise give rise to any liability of Bank, if (i) such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond Bank’s reasonable control, including but not limited to legal constraint, emergency conditions, action or inaction of governmental, civil or military authority, fire, strike, lockout or other labor dispute, war, riot, theft, flood, earthquake or other natural disaster, breakdown of public or private or common carrier communications or transmission facilities, equipment failure, or negligence or default of Company or Collateral Agent or (ii) such failure or delay resulted from Bank’s reasonable belief that the action would have violated any guideline, rule or regulation of any governmental authority.

Bank may rely on notices and communications it believes in good faith to be genuine and given by the appropriate party.

WHEREAS, the Assignors have entered into a Revolving Trade Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of November 23, 2005 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”) among the Assignors, Deutsche Bank AG New York, as Administrative Agent, and the several banks and other financial institutions parties thereto as Purchasers;

WHEREAS, each Seller will instruct the Eligible Buyers to make payments in respect of the Scheduled Receivables generated by its sales into a Collection Account or the Concentration Account;

 

WHEREAS, to induce the Purchasers to enter into the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Assignor has agreed to pledge and grant a security interest in the Collateral described below as security for the Obligations;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1. Definitions. Unless otherwise specified herein, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

 

SECTION 2. Assignment and Grant of Security Interest. Assignment and Grant of Security Interest; Collateral. As collateral security for the prompt payment and performance of the Obligations, each Assignor hereby assigns, and pledges and grants to the Collection Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, a security interest in, all of its right, title and interest in and to the following property, whether now owned by such Assignor or hereafter acquired and whether now existing or hereafter coming into existence (all being collectively referred to herein as “Collateral”): the Collection Accounts in its name, the Concentration Account (in the case of Celestica Corp.) and all certificates and instruments (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code), if any, from time to time representing or evidencing the Collection Accounts or the Concentration Account.

 

50











 

The Collection Agent shall have “control” (within the meaning of Sections 8-106(d) and 9-106(a) of the UCC) of each Collection Account, the Concentration Account and the

 

Payment Account until the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein.

 

SECTION 3. Further Assurances; Remedies. In furtherance of the grant of the pledge and security interest pursuant to Section 2 hereof, each Assignor hereby agrees with the Collection Agent as follows:

 

(a)           Delivery and Other Perfection. The Assignors shall:

 

give, execute, deliver, file and/or record any financing statement, notice, instrument, document, agreement or other papers that may be necessary or desirable (in the reasonable judgment of the Collection Agent) to create, preserve or perfect any portion of the security interest granted pursuant hereto or to enable the Collection Agent to exercise and enforce its rights hereunder with respect to such pledge and security interest;

 

keep full and accurate in all material respects books and records relating to the Collateral, and take such other actions as the Collection Agent may reasonably require in order to reflect the security interests granted by this Agreement;

 

permit employees of the Collection Agent, upon reasonable notice, at any time during normal business hours to inspect and make abstracts from its books and records pertaining to the Collateral, and forward to the Collection Agent copies of any notices or communications received by any Assignor with respect to the Collateral, all in such manner as the Collection Agent may require; and

 

in the case of Celestica Corp., at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event, upon request of the Collection Agent, promptly notify (and Celestica Corp. hereby authorizes the Collection Agent so to notify) each Eligible Buyer in respect of any Scheduled Receivable that such Receivable has been sold, assigned and transferred to the Purchasers.

 

(b) Preservation of Rights. Each Assignor shall defend the Collateral against all Liens and demands of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein adverse to the Collection Agent. Each Assignor will advise the Collection Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers promptly in writing and in reasonable detail of (a) any Lien (other than the security interests under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents) on any of the Collateral that would adversely affect the ability of the Collection Agent or the Purchasers to exercise any of their respective remedies hereunder, under the Collateral Account Agreement or under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, or (b) the occurrence of any event that could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the aggregate value of the Collateral.

 

(c)           Termination Event,  Etc. During the period during which a Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collection Agent shall have all of the rights and

 

51











 

remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including, without limitation, the right, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to exercise all powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Collection Agent were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and each Assignor agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right). Notwithstanding the occurrence of any Termination Event, the Collection Agent agrees not to use any funds on deposit in the Collection Accounts or the Concentration Account except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and therefore agrees not to materially interfere with the use by the Assignors of such funds not constituting Collections or due and payable in respect of Obligations.

 

Attorney-in-Fact. (i) Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to the Collection Agent, effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Termination Event, the Collection Agent shall be appointed the attorney-infact of each Assignor (and each Assignor hereby agrees to maintain in effect such a power of attorney until all amounts under the Purchased Assets have been paid in full) with full power and authority in the place and stead of each Assignor, in the name of each Assignor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any documents and instruments that Collection Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, which appointment as attorney-in-fact shall be irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Each Assignor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof consistent with the rights and obligations of said attorneys under this Agreement, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct of said attorneys.

 

(ii) Each Assignor hereby acknowledges and agrees that in acting pursuant to this power-of-attorney, the Collection Agent shall be acting on behalf of the Purchasers, and each Assignor acknowledges and agrees that neither the Collection Agent nor any Purchaser, as secured parties under this Agreement (collectively, the “Secured Parties”), shall have any fiduciary or other duties to the Assignors, and each Assignor hereby waives any claims to the rights of a beneficiary of a fiduciary relationship hereunder.

 

Termination. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Collection Agent that all of the Investments have been reduced to nil and all Obligations and amounts payable or required to be deposited by the Assignors under the Transaction Documents shall have been paid or deposited in full, this Agreement shall terminate, and the Collection Agent shall forthwith cause to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, any remaining Collateral and money received in respect thereof, to or on the order of the relevant Assignor.

 

Further Assurances. Each Assignor agrees that, from time to time upon the written request of the Collection Agent, it will promptly execute and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as the Collection Agent may reasonably request in order fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement and the pledge of the Collateral hereunder.

 

Waiver; Deficiency. Each Assignor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any counsel employed by the Collection Agent or any Purchaser to collect such deficiency.

 

Financing Statements. Pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code and any other applicable law, each Assignor authorizes the Collection Agent to file or record UCC Financing Statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of the Assignors in such form and in such offices as the Collection Agent determines appropriate to perfect its security interest under this Agreement (to the extent that the security interest may be perfected by filing). A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.

 

SECTION 4. Indemnities. Each Assignor, as a Seller under (and as defined in) the Receivables Purchase Agreement, hereby grants to the Collection Agent the indemnities set forth in Section 9.5 of the Purchase Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, mutatis mutandis.

 

52











 

SECTION 5. Miscellaneous.

Assignors Remain Liable. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Assignor shall remain liable under each of the Transaction Documents to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder. Neither the Collection Agent, the Administrative Agent nor the Purchasers shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collection Agent or the Purchasers of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Collection Agent or the Purchasers be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of the Assignors under or pursuant to any Receivable to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

 

(c) Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Assignors or the Collection Agent to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy) and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made (a) if by hand, when delivered or (b) if by telecopy or by courier, when received by the addressee, addressed to such party at its address or transmission number for notices provided in Section 9.2 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

Subject to Section 9.1 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, none of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the Assignors and the Collection Agent.

 

No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Collection Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

 

The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

 

(e) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Assignors, the Collection Agent, each Purchaser, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that the Assignors may not assign or transfer any of their respective rights or obligations under this Agreement, except to the Collection Agent without the prior written consent of each Purchaser.

 

(f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Servicer and the Collection Agent.

 

(g) Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is 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.
