Section 2.1.                                                        Sale,
Transfer and Assignment.


 


(a)           On
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (including
the conditions to Purchase set forth in Article III), the Seller
hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Buyer,
and the Buyer hereby purchases and takes from the Seller, all right, title and
interest of the Seller in the property identified in clauses (i) through
(iii) below, whether constituting accounts, cash and currency,

securities, financial assets, securities entitlements, commercial tort claims,

software, supporting obligations, accessions or other property of the Seller,
including the following (in each case excluding any Excluded Amounts) (collectively,
the “Sale Assets”):


 


(i)            the Receivables
listed on Schedule I to the Sale Assignment, together with all monies due or to
become due in payment under such Receivables on and after the Closing Date,
including, but not limited to, all Collections and all interest accrued with
respect to the Receivables but unpaid as of the Closing Date;


 


(ii)           all Related
Security with respect to the Receivables referred to in clause (i) above;
and


 


(iii)          all income and
Proceeds of the foregoing.


 


For avoidance of doubt, each of Fair, Durham
and Cochran, as the collective “Seller” hereunder, hereby sells, transfers,
assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Buyer all of such Person’s
undivided interest in the Sale Assets, which collectively constitute one
hundred percent (100%) of the undivided interests in the Sale Assets.


 


15
















 


(b)                                 The
Seller shall, on the Closing Date, execute and deliver to the Buyer a
certificate of assignment (the “Sale Assignment”) in the form of Exhibit C
hereto.


 


(c)                                  The
Buyer shall not have any obligation or liability to any Obligor (including any
obligation to perform any of the obligations of the Seller (including any
obligation with respect to any other related agreements)). No such obligation
or liability is intended to be assumed by the Buyer, and any such assumption is
expressly disclaimed.


 


(d)                                 In
connection with the Purchase of Sale Assets hereunder, the Seller shall have
delivered the Required Receivable Files to the Buyer prior to the Closing.


 


(e)                                  In
connection with the transfers contemplated by this Agreement, the Seller hereby
grants to the Buyer an irrevocable, non–exclusive license to use, without
royalty or payment of any kind, all software used by the Seller to account for
the Sale Assets, to the extent necessary to administer the Sale Assets, whether
such software is owned by the Seller or is owned by others and used by the
Seller under license agreements with respect thereto; provided
that should the consent of any licensor of such software be required for the
grant of the license described herein to be effective or for the Seller to
assign such license to the Buyer, the Seller hereby agrees that upon the
request of the Buyer, the Seller will use its best efforts to obtain the
consent of such third—party licensor. 
The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable. The Seller (i) shall
take such action requested by the Buyer from time to time hereafter that may be
necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Buyer and its assigns have an
enforceable ownership or security interest in the Sale Assets purchased by the
Buyer as contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) shall use its best
efforts to ensure that each of the Buyer has an enforceable right (whether by
license or sublicense or otherwise) to use all of the computer software used to
account for the Sale Assets and/or to recreate the related Servicing Files.


 


(f)                                    In
connection with the purchases by the Buyer of the Sale Assets as contemplated
by this Agreement, the Seller further agrees that it will, at its own expense,
indicate clearly and unambiguously in its computer files on or prior to the
Closing Date, and in the footnotes to its financial statements, that such Sale
Assets have been purchased by the Buyer in accordance with this Agreement.


 


(g)                                 It
is the intention of the parties hereto that the conveyances of all right, title
and interest of the Seller in and to any Sale Assets to the Buyer as provided
in this Section 2.1 shall constitute absolute transfers conveying
good title, free and clear of any Lien and that the Sale Assets shall not be
part of the bankruptcy estate of the Seller (or, for avoidance of doubt, any
member of Seller, being Fair, Cochran and Durham) in the event of an Insolvency
Event with respect to the Seller. Furthermore, it is not intended that any such
conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Receivables and the other Sale Assets to
the Buyer to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. If, however,
notwithstanding the intention of the parties, any conveyance provided for in
this Section 2.1 is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
or other Governmental Authority to be a transfer for security (an “Inconsistent
Determination”), then this Agreement shall also be deemed to be, and hereby
is, a “security agreement” within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC and
the Seller hereby grants to the Buyer a “security interest” within the meaning
of Article 9 of the UCC in all of its right, title and interest in, to and
under the related Sale Assets, now existing and hereafter created, to secure
the prompt and complete payment of a 


 


16

















 


loan deemed to
have been made in an amount equal to the Purchase Price of such Sale Assets
together with all of the other obligations of the Seller hereunder. The Buyer
shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which it may have under this
Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under
the UCC and other Applicable Law, which rights and remedies shall be
cumulative. In connection herewith, the Buyer shall be permitted to file
protective UCC financing statements necessary for the Buyer to have a perfected
security interest in the Sale Assets in the event of an Inconsistent
Determination (each a “Protective Filing”). Furthermore, automatically
upon an Inconsistent Determination and without any further action by the Seller
or the Buyer, or any amendment to this Agreement being required, each
representation or warranty by the Seller attesting as to the valid conveyance
of Sale Assets shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty that the
Seller has granted the Buyer a valid and continuing security interest in the
Sale Assets, free and clear of all Liens.


 


Section 2.2.                                                        Purchase

price for the Sale Assets sold to the Buyer by the Seller under this Agreement

(d)                                 Binding
Obligation. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the
Seller is a party constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Seller enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its respective terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by Insolvency Laws and by general
principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in equity).


 


(e)                                  No
Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the
fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof will not (i) conflict with,

case except to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be

Proceedings. There is no litigation, proceeding or investigation pending
or, to the best knowledge of the Seller, threatened against any of Fair,

From the date hereof until the Aggregate Outstanding Receivable Balance

records evidencing the Sale Assets conveyed by it in the event of the
destruction of the originals thereof), and keep and maintain all documents,
books, records and other information reasonably necessary or advisable for the
collection of all or any portion of the Sale Assets.  It will mark its master data processing
records (which marking may take the form of flagging the data processing
records with the appropriate status code) and other books and records relating
to the Sale Assets with a legend, acceptable to the Buyer, describing the sale
of the Sale Assets to 


 


25

















 


the Buyer, and at all times following the
Closing Date, will otherwise clearly indentify on its books and records that

its jurisdiction of organization or change the offices where it keeps the
records from its address on Annex A hereto, and neither of Durham or

all actions required under the UCC of each relevant jurisdiction in order to
continue the first priority perfected security interest of the Buyer in the
Sale Assets with respect to Protective Filings.

that becomes a Defaulted Receivable following the Closing Date, the Buyer shall
be entitled to offset from all amounts owed by the Buyer to Fair, Durham and
Cochran under their respective Notes an aggregate amount equal to the

actual knowledge of such circumstance or receipt by Durham, Cochran or the

of Sale Assets.


 


Upon confirmation of the deposit of the Retransfer Price of a
Receivable pursuant to Section 6.2 into the Collection Account (the
date of such delivery for such Receivable, the “Retransfer Date”), the
Buyer shall, automatically and without further action be deemed to transfer,

Receivable becomes a Defaulted Receivable.


 


(d)                                Taxes and other
Amounts.  The Servicer will use
commercially reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to
collect all payments with respect to amounts due for Taxes, assessments and
insurance premiums relating to each Receivable to the extent required to be
paid to the Buyer for such application under the Underlying Instrument and
remit 


 


33

















 


such amounts to the appropriate Governmental
Authority or insurer as required by the Underlying Instruments.


 


(e)                                 Payments to Lockbox
Account.  Within thirty (30) days following
the Closing Date, the Servicer shall instruct all Obligors to make all payments
in respect of the Receivables directly to the applicable Lockbox Account.


 


(f)                                   Establishment of
the Collection Account.  The Servicer
shall cause to be established, on or before the Closing Date, with Texas
Capital Bank, N.A. or any other bank designated by the Buyer, and maintained in
the name of the Buyer, a segregated account entitled “Collection Account for
CLST Asset III, LLC” (the “Collection Account”), over which the Buyer
shall have control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Servicer shall be entitled to access and make withdrawals from the Collection
Account only (a) as needed to prepare its Servicing Reports and other
Required Reports pursuant to Section 8.8, (b) to withdraw
Excluded Amounts, which the Servicer shall be responsible for remitting to the
appropriate Governmental Authorities and/or Obligors pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(viii),
and (c) to make adjustments pursuant to Section 8.4(g).  The Buyer shall be entitled to terminate the
Servicer’s access to the Collection Account at any time for any reason or for
no reason.


 


(g)                                Adjustments.  If (i) the Servicer makes a deposit into
the Collection Account in respect of a Collection of a Receivable and such Collection
was received by the Servicer in the form of a check that is not honored for any
reason or (ii) the Servicer makes a mistake with respect to the amount of
any Collection and deposits an amount that is less than or more than the actual
amount of such Collection, the Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amount
subsequently deposited into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored
check or mistake.  Any Scheduled Payment
in respect of which a dishonored check is received shall be deemed not to have
been paid.


 


Section 8.5.                                                        Realization
Upon Defaulted Receivables.


 


The Servicer will use commercially reasonable efforts in accordance
with the Credit and Collection Policy and consistent with the Servicing
Standard and Applicable Law in realizing upon each Defaulted Receivable and
Related Security, and employ practices and procedures including commercially
reasonable efforts to enforce all obligations of Obligors.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Servicer may (a) unless the Buyer has specifically given
instruction to the contrary, (i) foreclose upon any property securing the
Defaulted Receivable and cause the sale of any such property, or (ii) turn
the Defaulted Receivable over to a collection agency for collection, or (b) with
the consent of the Buyer, sell the Defaulted Receivable for its fair market
value (as determined by the Servicer in good faith) to an independent
third-party purchaser.  Provided that the
Seller has satisfied its obligation to pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the
Outstanding Receivable Balance of a Defaulted Receivable as of the day it
became a Defaulted Receivable, the Servicer may remit any subsequent
collections with respect to such Defaulted Receivable to the Seller.

Section 8.6.                                Servicing
Compensation.


 


The value of
the Servicer’s services have been factored into Fair’s allocable portion of the
Purchase Price, and therefore, Fair shall not be entitled to any additional
compensation for its servicing activities hereunder.

activities under this Agreement, including fees and disbursements of its
independent accountants, Taxes imposed on the Servicer, expenses incurred by
the Servicer in connection with payments pursuant to this Agreement, and all
other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this Agreement for the
account of the Buyer.  The initial
Servicer shall be required to pay such expenses for its own account and shall
not be entitled to any payment therefor.


 


Section 8.8.                                Reports.


 


(a)                                  Servicing
Report.  On each Reporting Date, the
Servicer will provide to the Buyer a monthly statement (a “Servicing Report”),
which report shall include (i) an updated Receivables List, (ii) account
balance and daily cash collection information, and (iii) such other pool
portfolio data, information and reports as may be needed for the Buyer to
satisfy its internal and external financial reporting requirements and/or as
otherwise reasonably requested by the Buyer from time to time, signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Servicer and in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to the Buyer.


 


(b)                                 Servicer’s
Certificate.  Together with each
Servicing Report, the Servicer shall submit to the Buyer a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit D (a “Servicer’s
Certificate”), signed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer, which shall
include a certification by such Responsible Officer that, to its knowledge, no
Servicer Default has occurred during the period between the date of such
Servicing Report and the date of the prior Servicing Report.


 


(c)                                  Financial
Statements.  The Servicer will submit

unaudited financial statements for the most recent fiscal quarter and (ii) within
one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year, commencing
with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, its consolidated financial
statements, each internally prepared by the Servicer.


 


(d)                                 Additional
Information.  In addition to the
foregoing, the Servicer will promptly provide to the Buyer such additional
information, reports and financial statements as may be requested from time to
time by the Buyer or its auditors.


 


Section 8.9.                                Annual
Statement as to Compliance.


 


The Servicer
will provide to the Buyer, within ninety (90) days following the end of each
fiscal year of the Servicer, commencing with the fiscal year ending on December 31,
2009, a fiscal report signed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer
certifying that (a) a review of the activities of the Servicer, and the
Servicer’s performance pursuant to this Agreement, for the 


 


35

















 


fiscal period ending on the
last day of such fiscal year has been made under such Person’s supervision and (b) the
Servicer has performed or has caused to be performed in all material respects
all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year and no
Servicer Default has occurred during such period (written notice of which has
not otherwise been delivered to the Buyer) or then exists at the end of such
period.


 


Section 8.10.                         Servicer
Resignation; Termination.


 


(a)                                The
Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it
except (a) upon providing at least one hundred and twenty (120) days’
prior written notice to the Buyer, or (b) upon the Servicer’s earlier
determination that the performance of its duties hereunder is or has become
illegal under Applicable Law.  Any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer under clause (b) of
the immediately preceding sentence shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
to such effect addressed and delivered to the Buyer.  No such resignation shall become effective
until a successor servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and
obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 8.11.


 


(b)                                 Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Buyer, upon providing written notice to
the Servicer, may terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as
servicer under this Agreement and appoint a successor servicer to perform its
duties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.


 


(c)                                  A
resignation notice delivered by the Servicer to the Buyer pursuant to Section 8.10(a) and
a termination notice delivered by the Buyer to the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.10(b) shall

continue to perform all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date
specified in the Servicer Termination Notice or as otherwise specified by the
Servicer or the Buyer, as applicable, in writing (but subject to the 120 day
notice requirement of Section 8.10(a)) or, if no such date is
specified in such Servicer Termination Notice, until a date mutually agreed
upon by the Servicer and the Buyer.  The
Buyer may, at any time following delivery of a Servicer Termination Notice,
appoint any other Person as the successor Servicer hereunder, and such
successor shall on such date assume all obligations of the Servicer hereunder
with respect to servicing of the Receivables, and all authority and power of
the Servicer under this Agreement shall pass to and be vested in the successor
servicer.


 


(b)                                 The

(a)                                  Without
limiting any other rights that the Buyer or any assignee of the Buyer (or any
of such Persons’ respective shareholders, officers, employees, agents, or
Affiliates (each an “Indemnified Party”)) may have hereunder or under
Applicable Law, Fair, Durham and Cochran hereby jointly and severally agree to
indemnify each Indemnified Party from and against any and all damages, losses,
claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively
referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”), awarded against or incurred by
such Indemnified Party arising out of or as a result of any of the
following:


 


(A)                              any
representation or warranty made by the Seller (including Fair in its role as
Servicer) or any of Fair’s officers under or in connection with this Agreement,
any other Transaction Document, any Servicing Report, any Servicer’s
Certificate or any other information or report delivered by or on behalf of the
Seller pursuant hereto shall have been false, incorrect or misleading when made
or delivered;


 


(B)                                the
failure by the Seller to comply with any term, provision or covenant contained
in this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any agreement
executed in connection therewith, or with any Applicable Law, including with
respect to any Sale Assets or the nonconformity of any Sale Assets with any
such Applicable Law, and including any such failure by Fair in its capacity as
the Servicer hereunder;


 


(C)                                any
claim, dispute, defense or offset by an Obligor with respect to a Receivable
(other than a bankruptcy discharge of such Obligor) arising from origination or
servicing of that Receivable prior to the Closing Date (including a defense
based on the Receivable not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such
Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms);


 


(D)                               any
inability to obtain any judgment in, or utilize the court or other adjudication
system of, any state in which an Obligor may be located as a result of the
failure of Fair to qualify to do business or file any required notice, business
activity report or similar report;


 


(E)                                 any
action taken by Fair, in its role as the Servicer, in the enforcement or
collection of any Collateral;


 


(F)                                 the
commingling of Collections by any of Fair, Durham or Cochran at any time with
other funds; or


 


37

















 


(G)                                any
investigation, litigation or proceeding related to the Sale Assets arising in
connection with the origination or servicing of the Receivables prior to the
Closing Date.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Seller shall
not owe indemnification to an Indemnified Party for any (x) Indemnified
Amounts to the extent resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith, breach of
contract or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Indemnified Party,
and (y) disputes among Indemnified Parties.


 


(b)                                 Any
amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.1
shall be paid by the Seller to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) Business
Days following such Person’s demand therefor setting forth the basis for such
Indemnified Amounts in reasonable detail. If any Indemnified Party receives any
Indemnified Amount from the Buyer and is subsequently reimbursed for such
amounts by another party, such Indemnified Party hereby agrees to reimburse the
Buyer for such reimbursed amounts.


 


(c)                                  If
for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 9.1
is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an
Indemnified Party harmless, then the Seller shall contribute to the amount paid
or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or
liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative
benefits received by such Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and the Seller,
on the other hand, but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations.


 


(d)                                 Indemnification
under this Section 9.1 shall be in an amount necessary to make the
Indemnified Party whole after taking into account any tax consequences to the
Indemnified Party of the receipt of the indemnity provided hereunder, including
the effect of such tax or refund on the amount of tax measured by net income or
profits that is or was payable by the Indemnified Party.
