ARTICLE II


AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE, SELL AND CONTRIBUTE


SECTION 2.1Purchase, Sale and Contribution. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Originator, severally and for itself, (a) hereby sells or contributes, as applicable, to its Related SPE, and each SPE hereby purchases or acquires from its Related Originator, all of such Related Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables and the Related Assets, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, acquired, or originated and (b) hereby absolutely assigns by way of capital contribution to its Related SPE, and each SPE hereby accepts such capital contribution and acquires from its Related Originator, all of such Related Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Lease Devices.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Originators are not hereby selling, contributing, pledging or otherwise assigning any Excluded Receivables.


SECTION 2.2Timing of Purchases and Contributions.  All Receivables existing at the opening of each Originator’s business on the Closing Date are hereby sold or contributed, as applicable, to its Related SPE on such date in accordance with the terms hereof.  On and after the Closing Date until the Purchase Termination Date, each Receivable shall be deemed to have been sold or contributed by each Originator to its Related SPE immediately (and without further action by any Person) upon the creation or acquisition of such Receivable.  The Related Assets with respect to each Receivable shall be sold or contributed at the same time as such Receivable, whether such Related Assets exist at such time or arise, are acquired or are originated thereafter.  The Lease Device with respect to each Lease Receivable and each MTM Lease Receivable shall be contributed at the same time as the sale and/or contribution of the Lease Receivables or the MTM Lease Receivables, as applicable, arising under the related Lease Contract.  


SECTION 2.3Purchase Price and Contribution.
 
(a) The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for the Receivables and the Related Assets shall be an amount equal to the fair market value of the Receivables and the Related Assets (taking into account a discount for the time value of money, historic and expected losses and the Originators’ obligations pursuant to Section 3.2), which shall initially be 99.75% of the Unpaid Balance of the Receivables (except with  respect to Lease Receivables and Related Assets, for which the Purchase Price shall be 95.00% of the Unpaid Balance of the Lease Receivables), or as otherwise agreed to by each Originator and its Related SPE at the time of the purchase or acquisition.  The conveyance of the Lease Devices shall be in the form of a capital contribution. To the extent the value of a Receivable and Related Assets exceeds the Purchase Price, such excess shall be deemed a capital contribution to the equity of the Related SPE by the applicable Originator.


(b)[Reserved] 


(c)Each SPE shall pay the Purchase Price due to its Related Originator on any day, in the case of Receivables and Related Assets, in immediately available funds; provided, however, to the extent that an SPE does not have sufficient funds available to 








3











pay in full such Purchase Price as of the date of its conveyance hereunder, the remaining portion of the Purchase Price shall be deferred until such time as the SPE obtains such available funds, and the Related Originator’s recourse to SPE for such deferred portion of the Purchase Price shall be limited to such available funds; provided, however, that if any such deferred portion has not been paid by the SPE on the date that is ninety (90) days following the sale of the related Receivables hereunder, the Related Originator shall be deemed to have made a capital contribution to the SPE in the amount of such unpaid deferred portion.


(d)Although the Purchase Price for each Receivable (together with the Related Assets, as applicable) coming into existence after the Closing Date shall be due by the applicable SPE to its Related Originator on the date such Receivable comes into existence and is sold, transferred or contributed to the Related SPE, and such Purchase Price shall be made as provided in this Section 2.3, final settlement of the Purchase Price from each SPE to its Related Originator shall be effected on a monthly basis on each Settlement Date with respect to all Receivables coming into existence during the calendar month preceding such Settlement Date and based on the information contained in the Information Package delivered by Servicer pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement for the calendar month then most recently ended.  On each Settlement Date, each SPE and its Related Originator (or the Servicer on their behalf) shall cause a reconciliation to be made in respect of all purchases that shall have been made during the calendar month then most recently ended.  Although such reconciliation shall be effected on Settlement Dates, increases or decreases in any contribution of capital by any Originator to its Related SPE made pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be effective as of the date that the related Receivables came into existence.


SECTION 2.4No Recourse or Assumption of Obligations.  Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the purchase and sale or contribution, as applicable, of Receivables, Related Assets and Lease Devices under this Agreement shall be without recourse to any Originator.  It is the express intent of each of the parties hereto that the transactions hereunder shall constitute absolute and irrevocable true sales or valid contributions, as applicable, of Receivables, Related Assets and Lease Devices by each Originator to its Related SPE (such that the Receivables, Related Assets and Lease Devices, other than those repurchased by the Originators pursuant to the terms hereof, would not be property of any Originator’s estate in the event of any Originator’s bankruptcy).


Except as set forth below in Section 2.5, none of the SPEs, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Purchasers or the other Affected Parties shall assume any obligation or liability in connection with any Receivables, Related Assets or Lease Devices, nor shall any SPE, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Purchaser or the other Affected Parties have any obligation or liability to any Obligor or other customer or client of any Originator or any ISC Dealer (including any obligation to perform any of the obligations of any Originator any ISC Dealer under any Receivables, Related Assets or Lease Devices).
SECTION 2.5Assignment and Assumption of Related Lease Contract Obligations.  For the purposes of this Agreement, (x) all contributions of contractual and other rights of 














4











Originators in connection with Lease Devices and Lease Contracts shall be deemed to be absolute and irrevocable assignments thereof and (y) all acquisitions of contractual obligations under Lease Contracts by SPEs shall be deemed to be assumptions thereof.  Subject to the SPEs’ rights of further assignment under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, from and after each date of conveyance of a Lease Contract hereunder (i) the SPEs shall have assumed the rights and obligations of the Originators under the Lease Contracts as lessors thereunder and (ii) each Originator shall relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Lease Contracts.  


ARTICLE III


ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION


SECTION 3.1Sprint Spectrum to Act as Servicer, Contracts.  (a)  Sprint Spectrum shall be responsible for the servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables, Related Assets and Lease Devices for the benefit of each SPE and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent (as SPEs’ assignee) on behalf of the Purchasers, and the Collateral Agent, all on the terms set out in (and subject to any rights to terminate Sprint Spectrum as Servicer and appoint a successor Servicer pursuant to) the Receivables Purchase Agreement.


(b)    Each SPE and each Originator hereby grant to Servicer an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, to take or cause to be taken in the name of such SPE or such Originator, as the case may be, any and all steps which are necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate, enforce, or otherwise realize on any Collections and any checks, instruments, writing, other proceeds of the Receivables or other right of any kind held or transmitted by such SPE or such Originator or transmitted or received by such SPE or such Originator in connection with any Receivables, Related Assets and Lease Devices (including under the related Records).


(c)    Subject to Section 2.5 with respect to Lease Contracts, each Originator shall perform all of its obligations under the Records to the same extent as if the Receivables had not been sold or contributed, as applicable, hereunder and the exercise by the SPEs, the Servicer, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective designees of its rights hereunder or under the Receivables Purchase Agreement shall not relieve any Originator from such obligations.


(d)    The Servicer agrees, on behalf of each SPE but subject to the terms of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, to exercise the rights and obligations of the SPEs as lessor under the Lease Contracts.


SECTION 3.2Deemed Collections.  (a)  If on any day:


















5













(i)the Unpaid Balance of any Receivable originated by any Originator (or assigned or transferred to an Originator from an ISC Dealer with respect to any ISC Dealer Receivable) is:

time of their respective Exclusion Effective Dates), is less than 1.00% of the average monthly aggregate Unpaid Balance of the Pool Receivables in respect of all Receivable Pools during the 12 most recently completed calendar months, and (ii) when added to the aggregate Unpaid Balance of Receivables that were excluded from the Net Portfolio Balance in respect of all Receivable Pools by the designation of any other Excluded Originators pursuant to this Section 5.6 at any time (measured at the time of their respective Exclusion Effective Dates), is less than 3.00% of the average monthly aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Receivables during the 12 most recently completed calendar months; and


(e)    on its Exclusion Effective Date, (x) such Excluded Originator ceases to hold any membership or other equity interest in any SPE and no Change of Control would result therefrom (provided that any such change in ownership in an SPE shall not be deemed to be a Change of Control), (y) any debts or amounts owing by the SPEs to such Excluded Originator under this Agreement and otherwise have been paid in full and (z) such Excluded Originator has ceased to be a party to this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof.


Any pro forma Information Package provided pursuant to this Agreement or Section 13.18 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement shall be subject to the representations, warranties and indemnifications contained herein and the other Transaction Documents on the same basis as any other Information Package.  The representations, covenants and provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents applicable to an Originator shall no longer be applicable to an Excluded Originator after the Exclusion Effective Date for such Excluded Originator.

For the avoidance of doubt, any Receivables originated by an Excluded Originator prior to its related Exclusion Effective Date shall continue to be owned by the applicable SPEs and constitute Pool Receivables for all purposes, in each case, after such Exclusion Effective Date.
