PURCHASE AND CONVEYANCE OF RECEIVABLES

 

Section 2.01    Purchase.

 

(a)               By execution of

this Agreement, LLC does hereby agree to purchase on and after the Termination

Date from Columbus Bank, and Columbus Bank does hereby agree to sell, transfer,

assign, set over and otherwise convey on and after the Termination Date, to LLC

(collectively, the “Conveyance”), without recourse except

as provided herein, all of Columbus Bank’s right, title and interest in, to and

under (i) the Receivables and all monies due and or to become due and all

amounts received with respect thereto and all proceeds (including, without

limitation, “proceeds” as defined in the UCC) thereof and (ii) the right

to receive Interchange and Recoveries with respect to such Receivables (other

than with respect to the Retained Interest therein) (all of the foregoing being

referred to herein as the “Purchased Assets”).

 

(b)              In connection with

such Conveyance, Columbus Bank agrees (i) to cooperate with LLC, and LLC

agrees to record and file upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, at its

own expense, any financing statements (and continuation statements with respect

to such financing statements when applicable) with respect to the Receivables

and the other Purchased Assets, meeting the requirements of applicable state

law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect, and

maintain perfection of, the Conveyance of such Purchased Assets from Columbus

Bank to LLC and (ii) that such financing statements shall name Columbus

Bank, as seller, and LLC, as purchaser, of the Receivables and the other

Purchased Assets; and upon filing LLC agrees to deliver a file-stamped copy of

such financing statements or other evidence of such filings to Columbus Bank as

soon as is practicable after filing.

 

(c)               [Reserved]

 

(d)              The parties hereto

intend that the conveyance of Columbus Bank’s right, title and interest in and

to the Receivables and the other Purchased Assets purchased hereunder shall

constitute a sale, conveying good title free and clear of any liens, claims,

encumbrances or rights of others from Columbus Bank to LLC and that the

Receivables and the other Purchased Assets shall not be part of Columbus Bank’s

estate in the event of the insolvency of Columbus Bank or a conservatorship,

receivership or similar event with respect to Columbus Bank.  It is the intention of the parties hereto

that the arrangements with respect to the Receivables and the other Purchased

Assets shall constitute a purchase and sale of such Receivables and the other

Purchased Assets and not a loan.  In the

event, however, that it were to be determined that the transactions evidenced

hereby constitute a loan and not a purchase and sale, this Agreement shall

constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and Columbus Bank hereby

grants to LLC a first priority security interest in all of Columbus Bank’s

right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and

under the Receivables and the other Purchased Assets.

 

(e)               With respect to the

foregoing and the grant of the security interest in the Purchased Assets,

Columbus Bank hereby authorizes LLC at any time and from time to time to

 

7

 

file one or more financing or continuation statements,

and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Purchased Assets

without the signature of Columbus Bank where permitted by law.

for the Conveyance with respect to the Receivables and the other Purchased

Assets which come into existence on or after the Termination Date shall be

payable daily, on the Business Day next succeeding the Business Day on which

the notice deliverable by Columbus Bank pursuant to subsection (b) hereof is

received by LLC.  For purposes hereof,

the purchase price for the Receivables (the “Purchase Price”) shall be equal to

100% of the principal balance of such Receivables.

 

(b)              No later than 1:00

p.m. (eastern time) on each Business Day, Columbus Bank shall notify by

facsimile transmission the Chief Financial Officer or such officer’s designee

at LLC of the Purchase Price payable due or owed by LLC.  Payments due for any day shall be made by

wire transfer no later than 4:00 p.m. (eastern time) on the Business Day next

succeeding the date of such notice, unless Columbus Bank is late in notifying

LLC of the Purchase Price due for any day, in which case the appropriate party

shall use all reasonable efforts to send the wire transfer within the time

period set forth above or as soon thereafter as possible, but in any event no

later than 5:00 p.m. (eastern time) of the next Business Day following LLC’s

receipt of notice from Columbus Bank.

 

(c)               In the event LLC

has reason to dispute the accuracy of the Purchase Price reported by Columbus

Bank for any day, LLC shall promptly so notify Columbus Bank, but such notice

shall not affect LLC’s obligation for timely payment of the Purchase Price as

notified by Columbus Bank to LLC.  In

the event it is determined that LLC was correct in disputing the accuracy of

the Purchase Price for a given day, Columbus Bank shall promptly remit (but in

any event within 5 Business Days of such determination) to LLC the greater of

(i) the amount due LLC with interest thereon computed at the rate of 3

percentage points above the Columbus Bank “prime rate” in effect on the date

said sum was first due, or (ii) $100. 

If LLC shall fail for any reason to remit to Columbus Bank the Purchase

Price due for any given day, then LLC shall promptly remit to Columbus Bank the

amount due Columbus Bank with interest thereon from the date such sum was due

until the date the Purchase Price is paid computed at the rate of 3 percentage

points above the Columbus Bank “prime rate” in effect on the date said sum was

first due.

 

(d)              If LLC fails on any

given day to pay the Purchase Price indicated by Columbus Bank, as provided

hereunder, even in the event LLC disputes such amount, and such failure is not

cured within 2 Business Days from the date LLC receives notification of

nonpayment, Columbus Bank may (but need not and without waiver of its rights),

in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have, upon notice to LLC

sell to any third party any interest in the Receivables that LLC failed to

purchase.

 

(e)               The sale of

Receivables contemplated herein shall occur upon settlement therefor by or on

behalf of LLC and no additional documents shall be required by the parties to

 

9

 

effect any such sale. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, in the reasonable judgment of either

party in connection with any such purchase and sale, any additional instrument,

document, or certificate is required to further evidence such purchase and

sale, the other party shall execute and deliver any such document.

proceeding, arbitration, investigation or controversy pending, to which LLC is

knowledge, no facts exist which would provide a basis for any such claim,

litigation, proceeding, arbitration, investigation or controversy.

 

(v)                   No

Consent, Etc.  No consent of any

person (including without limitation any stockholder or creditor of LLC) and no

consent, license, permit or approval or authorization or exemption by notice or

report to, or registration, filing or declaration with, any governmental

authority is required (other than those previously obtained and delivered to

with the transfer of the Purchased Assets and a grant of a security interest in

the Collateral) in connection with the execution or delivery of this Agreement

or the Conveyance Papers by LLC, the validity or enforceability of this

Agreement or the Conveyance Papers against LLC, the validity of the security

interest granted by LLC hereunder, the consummation of the transactions

contemplated hereby or by the Conveyance Papers, or the performance by LLC of

its obligations hereunder and under the Conveyance Papers.

Section 5.02   Covenants of LLC.  LLC hereby covenants and agrees with

Columbus Bank as follows:

 

(a)               Except as otherwise

provided in this subsection (a), until an Event of Default has occurred

and is continuing, LLC shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all

amounts due or to become due LLC in respect of the Collateral.  In connection with such collections,

Bank in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements) to be

held as cash collateral and applied as provided by this Agreement; and (ii) LLC

shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any of the

Receivables, or release wholly or partly any account debtor or obligor thereof,

or allow any credit or discount thereon.

 

(d)              Other than as

prior written consent of Columbus Bank, sell, assign (by operation of law or

otherwise), transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral.

 

(e)               LLC agrees that,

from time to time at its own cost and expense, it will promptly execute and

deliver and will cause to be executed and delivered all further instruments,

assignments, notices, agreements and documents, including, without limitation,

financing and continuation statements, and will take all further action and

will cause all further action to be taken, that may be necessary or desirable,

or that Columbus Bank may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect

any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby and the

and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral.  Without limiting the generality of the

foregoing LLC will:

 

(i)                  if

any Collateral shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument or

negotiable document, deliver and pledge to the Custodial Agent such promissory

note, instrument or negotiable document duly endorsed and accompanied by duly

executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance

reasonably satisfactory to Columbus Bank;

 

(ii)               execute

amendments thereto, and such other instruments, assignments or notices, as may

be necessary or desirable, or as Columbus Bank may reasonably request, in order

to perfect and protect the security interests and other rights granted or purported

to be granted to Columbus Bank;

 

(iii)            furnish to Columbus Bank, from time to

time, (A) statements and schedules further identifying and describing the

Collateral; and (B) all monthly servicing reports and any restatements or

revisions thereto delivered to noteholders pursuant to the applicable Indenture

Supplement.

 

16

 

(iv)           at

Columbus Bank’s written request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding

that may affect LLC’s right, title and interest in or to, or Columbus Bank’s

security interest in, the Collateral.

 

(f)            With respect to the

foregoing and the grant of the security interest hereunder, LLC hereby

authorizes Columbus Bank at any time and from time to time to file one or more

financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all

or any part of the Collateral without the signature of LLC where permitted by

law.

pursuant to Sections 6.06, 6.07 or 6.08, LLC acknowledges that it is not authorized

to the Collateral with respect to any financing statement relating to the

Collateral without the prior written consent of Columbus Bank, subject to LLC’s

rights under Articles 1 and 9 of the UCC.

Agreement, LLC shall observe the applicable legal requirements for its

recognition as a legal entity separate and apart from CompuCredit and from its

conduct of its business, and shall conduct its business so as not to mislead

others as to the identity of the entity with which they are concerned.

 

(i)                       at all

times, except in the case of a temporary vacancy, which shall promptly be

filled, the Managing Member of LLC shall have at least one director who

qualifies as an “Independent Director” as such term is defined in the articles

of incorporation of the Managing Member.

 

Section 5.03      Columbus

Bank Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.

 

From and after the occurrence and during the

17

 

authority and power in

the place and stead of LLC and in the name of LLC, Columbus Bank or otherwise,

from time to time in Columbus Bank’s discretion to take any appropriate action

and to execute any instrument that Columbus Bank may deem necessary or

advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement with respect to the Collateral

(but Columbus Bank shall not be obligated to and shall have no liability to LLC

or any third party for failure so to do) including, without limitation:

 

(a)   to ask, demand, collect, enforce, sue for,

recover, compromise, receive, and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due

and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;

 

(b)   to receive, endorse, and collect any checks,

drafts or other instruments, documents, and chattel paper in connection with

clause (a) above;

 

(c)   to file any claims or take any action or

institute any proceedings (or to settle, adjust or compromise any such

proceeding) that Columbus Bank may deem necessary or desirable for the

collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of LLC

with respect to any of the Collateral;

 

(d)   to perform the affirmative obligations of LLC

hereunder;

 

(e)   to execute and deliver for and on behalf of

LLC any and all instruments, documents, agreements, and other writings

necessary or advisable for the exercise on behalf of LLC of any rights,

benefits or options created or existing under or pursuant to the Collateral;

and

 

(f)    to execute endorsements, assignments, or

other instruments of conveyance and transfer relating to the Collateral.

 

LLC hereby acknowledges,

consents and agrees that the power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section

5.03 is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

 

Section

5.04      Columbus Bank May Perform.

given LLC written notice of its intent to do the same and LLC shall not have,

within 30 days of such notice (or such shorter period as Columbus Bank may

reasonably determine is necessary in order to preserve the benefits of this

Agreement with respect to any material portion of the Collateral), paid such

claim or obtained to Columbus Bank’s satisfaction the release of the claim or

Lien to which such notice relates.  LLC

agrees to reimburse Columbus Bank upon demand for any reasonable out-of-pocket,

third-party costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable

attorneys’ fees, Columbus Bank incurs while acting as attorney-in-fact

however, that Columbus Bank shall not be required to make any

presentment, demand, or protest, or give any notice, and need not take any

action to preserve any rights against any other Person with respect to the

SECURITY

Section

6.01      Grant of Security.

 

As collateral security for the prompt, full and

complete payment and performance when due of its obligations hereunder and for

so long as the Funding Exposure Amount is greater than zero, LLC hereby assigns

and pledges to Columbus Bank, and hereby grants to Columbus Bank a security

interest in, all of LLC’s right, title and interest in and to the following

property, whether now owned or existing or hereafter existing, arising or

acquired, and wherever located (the “Collateral”):

 

(a)                    the Pledged

Residual Interests; and

 

(b)                   all products

and Proceeds of and from any and all of the foregoing Collateral, all proceeds

which constitute property of the types described in clause (a) above and,

to the extent not otherwise included, all proceeds and payments under insurance

(whether or not LLC is the loss payee thereof), including return premiums with

respect thereto, or any indemnity, warranty, or guaranty payable by reason of

loss or damage to or otherwise with respect to any of the foregoing Collateral.

 

Section 6.02      Continuing

Security Interest.

 

(a)              For so long as the

Funding Exposure Amount is greater than zero, this Agreement shall create a

continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall:

 

(i)                remain

in full force and effect until the payment and performance in full of all the

obligations of LLC hereunder;

 

(ii)             be

binding upon LLC and its successors, transferees and assigns; and

 

(iii)          inure, together with the rights and remedies

of Columbus Bank, to the benefit of Columbus Bank and its successors and

assigns.

 

(b)             Upon reduction of the

Funding Exposure Amount to zero, the security interest granted herein shall

terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to LLC.  Upon any such termination, Columbus Bank

will, at LLC’s sole expense, promptly execute and deliver to LLC such

instruments and documents necessary and as LLC shall reasonably request to

evidence such termination.

 

Section

6.03      LLC Remains Liable.

 

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:

 

(a)   LLC shall remain liable under the contracts

and agreements to which it is a party related to or included in the Collateral

to the extent set forth therein and shall perform all of 

 

20

 

its duties and obligations under such contracts and

agreements to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed;

 

(b)        the exercise by Columbus

Bank of any of its rights and remedies hereunder shall not release LLC from any

of its duties or obligations under any such contracts or agreements related to

or included in the Collateral; and

 

(c)         Columbus Bank shall not

have any obligation or liability under any such contracts or agreements related

to or included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, and Columbus Bank

shall not be obligated (i) to perform or fulfill any of the obligations or

duties of LLC thereunder, (ii) to take any action to collect or present,

file and/or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder, or (iii) to

make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment LLC may be

entitled to receive thereunder.

 

Section 6.04      Representations

and Warranties of LLC Regarding Collateral.  LLC hereby represents and warrants to Columbus Bank as of the

date hereof and as of the Termination Date as follows:

 

(a)               LLC owns, and has

rights and the power to transfer, each item of Collateral upon which it

purports to grant a lien hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens, except

for the security interest created by this Agreement.  Except as otherwise permitted under Sections 6.06, 6.07 or 6.08,

no effective agreement, financing statement, assignment, Bank Lien or other

instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral is on

file or of record in any public office, except such as may have been filed in

favor of Columbus Bank relating to this Agreement.

 

(b)             This Agreement

creates a valid security interest in the Collateral securing the payment and

performance in full of the obligations of LLC hereunder.  Upon the filing of appropriate financing

statements in the applicable filing offices in the jurisdictions listed in Schedule

B hereto, all filings, registrations and recordings necessary or

appropriate to create and perfect the first priority security interest granted

by LLC to Columbus Bank in the Collateral will have been accomplished and will

create a perfected security interest therein prior to the rights of all other

Persons therein and subject to no other Bank Liens, except as otherwise

permitted under Sections 6.06, 6.07 or 6.08.

 

Section 6.05      Certain

Remedies.

 

If any Event of Default shall have occurred and is

continuing:

 

(a)               Columbus Bank may

exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights available to

it at law or in equity or otherwise, all the rights and remedies of a secured

party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected

Collateral) and also may (i) require LLC to, and LLC hereby agrees that it

will, at its expense and upon request of Columbus Bank forthwith, assemble all

or part of the Collateral as directed by Columbus Bank and make it available to

Columbus Bank at a place to be designated by Columbus Bank that is reasonably

convenient to both parties, (ii) exercise any and all rights and remedies

of LLC under or in connection with the Collateral, (iii) foreclose or otherwise

enforce Columbus Bank’s security interest in any manner permitted by law or

provided for in this

 

21

 

Agreement, (iv) without notice except as specified

below, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one

or more parcels at one or more public or private sales, at any place or places

whether or not the Collateral is present at the place of sale, for cash, on

credit, or for future delivery, and upon such other terms and in such manner as

Columbus Bank may, in compliance with any mandatory requirements of applicable

law, determine to be commercially reasonable, (v) recover from LLC all

costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees,

incurred or paid by Columbus Bank in exercising any right, power, privilege or

remedy provided by this Agreement or by law or in equity, (vi) without

notice or demand of legal process, all of which are hereby expressly waived by

LLC, enter into property where any Collateral or books and records relating

thereto are located and take possession thereof with or without judicial

process, and (vii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, prepare it for

disposition in any manner and to the extent Columbus Bank deems appropriate; provided,

however, that notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Columbus

Bank may sell or otherwise dispose the Collateral or any part thereof in its

then condition without any preparation or processing.  LLC agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required

by law, at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to LLC of the time and

place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made

shall constitute reasonable notification thereof.  Columbus Bank shall not be obligated to make any sale of

Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  Columbus Bank may adjourn any public or

private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed

therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and

place to which it was so adjourned. 

Upon any sale or other disposition pursuant to this Agreement, Columbus

Bank shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to purchaser thereof

the Collateral or any part thereof and transfer to the purchaser thereof the

Collateral or any part thereof so sold or disposed of.  Each purchaser at any such sale or other

disposition (including Columbus Bank) shall hold the Collateral free from any

claim or right of whatever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of

LLC and LLC specifically waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of

redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any rule of law or

statute now existing or hereafter adopted.

 

(b)              All cash proceeds

received by Columbus Bank in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other

realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied to the

Obligations.  Subject to Section

9-608(a) of the UCC, if any non-cash proceeds are received in connection with

any sale of Collateral, Columbus Bank shall not apply such non-cash proceeds to

the Obligations unless and until such proceeds are converted to cash; provided,

however, that if such non-cash proceeds are not expected on the date of

receipt thereof to be converted to cash within one year after such date,

Columbus Bank shall nonetheless use commercially reasonable efforts to convert

such non-cash proceeds to cash within such one year period.  Any surplus of such cash, cash proceeds or

non-cash proceeds held by Columbus Bank after payment in full of all the

Obligations shall be paid over to LLC or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled

to receive such surplus pursuant to Section 9-608 of the UCC.

 

(c)               Notwithstanding

anything to the contrary herein, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that

any transfer of the Pledged Residual Interests (including in connection with

Columbus Bank’s exercise of its rights and remedies hereunder) is subject to the

terms, provisions and conditions set forth in the Indenture, including

requirements concerning the delivery of tax opinions with respect to any such

transfer and the tax status of any transferee,

 

22

 

and the parties acknowledge and agree that nothing

herein waives such requirements or assures their satisfaction.

 

Section 6.06      Substitution

of Collateral.

 

(a)               LLC may from time

to time substitute Eligible Collateral for the Collateral hereunder, subject to

satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 6.06.

 

(b)              Eligible Collateral

shall consist of (i) rights of CFC to receive payments in respect of notes

issued pursuant to the Indenture, which notes shall not be subordinated to any

other notes or class of notes issued pursuant to the Indenture and beneficially

owned by the CFC or any affiliate of CFC; (ii) rights of CFC to receive

distributions under the Trust Agreement, including, without limitation, Excess

Finance Charge Collections (as defined in the Transfer and Servicing Agreement

and the related Indenture Supplement), which rights are, in each case, not

subject to any Bank Lien immediately prior to grant of a security interest

therein pursuant hereto (collectively, “Eligible Collateral”).

 

(c)               Unless Columbus

Bank shall have given its prior written consent, no substitution of Collateral

pursuant to this Section 6.06 shall result in the percentage of Excess Interest

Residuals comprising the Pledged Residual Interests to exceed the percentage of

Excess Interest Residuals comprising the Residual Interests.

 

(d)              In connection with

each substitution of Collateral pursuant to this Section 6.06 LLC shall deliver

to Columbus Bank an Officer’s Certificate substantially in the form attached as

Exhibit C to the Pledge and Security Agreement to the effect that after giving

effect to such substitution the Residual Valuation of the Pledged Residual

Interests is greater than or equal to the amount required pursuant to clause

(ii) of the definition of Minimum Residual Valuation.

 

Section 6.07      Release

of Collateral. 

 

(a)               If (i) any of the

Collateral shall be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of by LLC in a

transaction not prohibited by this Agreement or (ii) LLC shall deliver to

Columbus Bank an Officer’s Certificate substantially in the form attached as

Exhibit C to the Pledge and Security Agreement to the effect that after giving

effect to any sale, transfer or other disposition of any part of the

Collateral, the Residual Valuation of the Pledged Residual Interests is greater

than or equal to the amount required pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition

of Minimum Residual Valuation, then Columbus Bank shall, at the written request

of LLC, promptly authorize, execute and deliver to LLC (at the sole cost and

expense of LLC) such instruments or documents necessary and as LLC shall

reasonably request to release the liens created hereby on such Collateral,

including any necessary UCC amendment, termination statement or partial

termination statement.

 

(b)              Upon receipt of

(i) a written request from CompuCredit for release of the Collateral and

(ii) an Officer’s Certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as

Exhibit E to the Pledge and Security Agreement, Columbus Bank shall (i)

direct the Custodial Agent to release and reassign all Collateral and Pledged

Residual Interests, (ii) remit to LLC any cash or other stock, instruments,

documents or property which it has held as collateral for the Secured 

 

23

 

Obligations, and (iii) execute any documents or

instruments of release terminating its rights under this Agreement and the

Pledge and Security Agreement.

 

SECTION

6.08      Liens.

 

(a)               LLC may create

Liens on the Pledged Residual Interests provided the following conditions have

been satisfied prior to or contemporaneous with creation of such Lien: (i) LLC

or one of its affiliates shall have obtained a Qualifying Letter of Credit (as

defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement) in favor of Columbus Bank in an

amount equal to the Substitution Amount (as defined in the Pledge and Security

Agreement); and (ii) CompuCredit shall have provided to Columbus Bank not less

than 10 Business Days prior to the creation of any Lien on the Pledged Residual

Interests or any portion thereof an Officer’s Certificate with respect to the

Residual Valuation, which Officer’s Certificate shall be in substantially the

form attached hereto as Exhibit C to the Pledge and Security Agreement.  Columbus Bank shall, if requested by LLC II

in connection with a Lien granted by LLC II in accordance with this Agreement,

enter into an intercreditor agreement with the holder of such Lien, which

intercreditor agreement shall contain usual and customary provisions regarding

the rights and obligations of the senior and junior lienholders.

 

(b)              LLC shall not create

Bank Liens on the Pledged Residual Interests that would be junior to Columbus

Bank’s lien hereunder, unless LLC, shall have obtained the prior written

consent of Columbus Bank; provided, however, that if (i) the

aggregate Residual Valuation of the Residual Interests is equal to or greater

than $175 million, and (ii) the net proceeds of the loan or loans secured by

such junior Bank Lien or Bank Liens on the Pledged Residual Interests are not

less than $5 million, then Columbus Bank’s prior written consent shall not be

required. LLC shall cause the grantee of the security interest therein to enter

into an intercreditor agreement with Columbus Bank which intercreditor

agreement shall contain usual and customary provisions regarding the rights and

obligations of the senior and junior lienholders.

ARTICLE II

 

PURCHASE AND CONVEYANCE OF RECEIVABLES

 

Section 2.01    Purchase.

 

(a)    By execution of this

Agreement, LLC II does hereby agree to purchase on and after the Termination

Date from Columbus Bank, and Columbus Bank does hereby agree to sell, transfer,

assign, set over and otherwise convey on and after the Termination Date, to LLC

II (collectively, the “Conveyance”), without recourse except

as provided herein, all of Columbus Bank’s right, title and interest in, to and

under (i) the Receivables and all monies due and or to become due and all

amounts received with respect thereto and all proceeds (including, without

limitation, “proceeds” as defined in the UCC) thereof and (ii) the right

to receive Interchange and Recoveries with respect to such Receivables (other

than with respect to the Retained Interest therein) (all of the foregoing being

referred to herein as the “Purchased Assets”).

 

(b)    In connection with such

Conveyance, Columbus Bank agrees (i) to cooperate with LLC II, and LLC II

agrees to record and file upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, at its

own expense, any financing statements (and continuation statements with respect

to such financing statements when applicable) with respect to the Receivables

and the other Purchased Assets, meeting the requirements of applicable state

law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect, and

maintain perfection of, the Conveyance of such Purchased Assets from Columbus

Bank to LLC II and (ii) that such financing statements shall name Columbus

Bank, as seller, and LLC II, as purchaser, of the Receivables and the other

Purchased Assets; and upon filing LLC II agrees to deliver a file-stamped copy

of such financing statements or other evidence of such filings to Columbus Bank

as soon as is practicable after filing.

 

(c)    [Reserved]

 

(d)    The parties hereto intend

that the conveyance of Columbus Bank’s right, title and interest in and to the

Receivables and the other Purchased Assets purchased hereunder shall constitute

a sale, conveying good title free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances

or rights of others from Columbus Bank to LLC II and that the Receivables and

the other Purchased Assets shall not be part of Columbus Bank’s estate in the

event of the insolvency of Columbus Bank or a conservatorship, receivership or

similar event with respect to Columbus Bank. 

It is the intention of the parties hereto that the arrangements with

respect to the Receivables and the other Purchased Assets shall constitute a

purchase and sale of such Receivables and the other Purchased Assets and not a

loan.  In the event, however, that it

were to be determined that the transactions evidenced hereby constitute a loan

and not a purchase and sale, this Agreement shall constitute a security

agreement under applicable law, and Columbus Bank hereby grants to LLC II a

first priority security interest in all of Columbus Bank’s right, title and

interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the

Receivables and the other Purchased Assets.

 

(e)    With respect to the

foregoing and the grant of the security interest in the Purchased Assets,

Columbus Bank hereby authorizes LLC II at any time and from time to time 

 

7

 

to file one or more financing or continuation

statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the

Purchased Assets without the signature of Columbus Bank where permitted by law.

(a)    The purchase price for the

Conveyance with respect to the Receivables and the other Purchased Assets which

come into existence on or after the Termination Date shall be payable daily, on

the Business Day next succeeding the Business Day on which the notice deliverable

by Columbus Bank pursuant to subsection (b) hereof is received by LLC II.  For purposes hereof, the purchase price for

the Receivables (the “Purchase Price”) shall be equal to 100% of the principal

balance of such Receivables.

 

(b)    No later than 1:00 p.m.

(eastern time) on each Business Day, Columbus Bank shall notify by facsimile

transmission the Chief Financial Officer or such officer’s designee at LLC II

of the Purchase Price payable due or owed by LLC II.  Payments due for any day shall be made by wire transfer no later

than 4:00 p.m. (eastern time) on the Business Day next succeeding the date of

such notice, unless Columbus Bank is late in notifying LLC II of the Purchase

Price due for any day, in which case the appropriate party shall use all

reasonable efforts to send the wire transfer within the time period set forth

above or as soon thereafter as possible, but in any event no later than 5:00

p.m. (eastern time) of the next Business Day following LLC II’s receipt of

notice from Columbus Bank.

 

(c)    In the event LLC II has

reason to dispute the accuracy of the Purchase Price reported by Columbus Bank

for any day, LLC II shall promptly so notify Columbus Bank, but such notice

shall not affect LLC II’s obligation for timely payment of the Purchase Price

as notified by Columbus Bank to LLC II. 

In the event it is determined that LLC II was correct in disputing the

accuracy of the Purchase Price for a given day, Columbus Bank shall promptly

remit (but in any event within 5 Business Days of such determination) to LLC II

the greater of (i) the amount due LLC II with interest thereon computed at the

rate of 3 percentage points above the Columbus Bank “prime rate” in effect on

the date said sum was first due, or (ii) $100. 

If LLC II shall fail for any reason to remit to Columbus Bank the

Purchase Price due for any given day, then LLC II shall promptly remit to

Columbus Bank the amount due Columbus Bank with interest thereon from the date

such sum was due until the date the Purchase Price is paid computed at the rate

of 3  percentage points above the

Columbus Bank “prime rate” in effect on the date said sum was first due.

 

(d)    If LLC II fails on any

given day to pay the Purchase Price indicated by Columbus Bank, as provided

hereunder, even in the event LLC II disputes such amount, and such failure is

not cured within 2 Business Days from the date LLC II receives notification of

nonpayment, Columbus Bank may (but need not and without waiver of its rights),

in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have, upon notice to LLC II

sell to any third party any interest in the Receivables that LLC II failed to

purchase.

 

(e)    The sale of Receivables

contemplated herein shall occur upon settlement therefor by or on behalf of LLC

II and no additional documents shall be required by the parties to 

 

9

 

effect any such sale. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, in the reasonable judgment of either

party in connection with any such purchase and sale, any additional instrument,

document, or certificate is required to further evidence such purchase and

sale, the other party shall execute and deliver any such document.

effected or given and are in full force and effect; and

 

(iv)    upon payment of the Purchase

Price by LLC II, the transfer of the Receivables to LLC II pursuant hereto

in the case of existing Receivables and the proceeds thereof and said

Interchange, is enforceable upon execution and delivery of this Agreement and

Bank.  Columbus Bank hereby

covenants and agrees with LLC II as follows:

 

(i)    Receivables Not To Be

Evidenced by Promissory Notes. 

Except in connection with its enforcement or collection of a Columbus

Account, Columbus Bank will take no action to cause any Receivable to be

evidenced by any instrument (as defined in the UCC).

 

(ii)    Delivery of Collections

or Recoveries.  In the event that

after becoming aware of any Bank Lien on any Receivable other than the

conveyances hereunder, under the CompuCredit Purchase Agreement, the Transfer

and Servicing Agreement, the CFC Purchase Agreement and the Indenture.

 

(iv)    Documentation of

(v)    Official Records.  Columbus Bank shall maintain this Agreement

as a part of its official records.

 

Section 5.02    Covenants of

LLC II.  LLC II hereby covenants and

agrees with Columbus Bank as follows:

 

(a)    Except as otherwise

provided in this subsection (a), until an Event of Default has occurred

and is continuing, LLC II shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all

amounts due or to become due LLC II in respect of the Collateral.  In connection with such collections,

provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, LLC II may

take such action as LLC II may deem necessary or advisable to enforce rights to

receive payments in respect of the Collateral.

 

(b)    LLC II shall deliver to the

Custodial Agent contemporaneously with execution and delivery of this Agreement

(i) the certificates, if any, evidencing the Pledged Residual Interests,

together with instruments of transfer, endorsed in blank, sufficient to permit

transfer on the books and records of the Indenture Trustee of the Pledged

Residual Interests.  At any time after

an 

 

15

 

Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,

Columbus Bank shall have the right to submit such instruments of transfer to

the Indenture Trustee and cause the issuance of certificates evidencing the

Pledged Residual Interests registered in the name of Columbus Bank or its

designee and to submit the Letter of Instruction to the Indenture Trustee.

 

(c)    After delivery to LLC II by

Columbus Bank of a notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is

continuing:  (i) all amounts and

proceeds (including Instruments) received by LLC II in respect of the

Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of Columbus Bank

hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of LLC II, and shall be

forthwith paid over to Columbus Bank in the same form as so received (with any

necessary endorsements) to be held as cash collateral and applied as provided

by this Agreement; and (ii) LLC II shall not adjust, settle or compromise the

amount or payment of any of the Receivables, or release wholly or partly any

account debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon.

 

(d)     Other than as permitted

pursuant to Sections 6.06, 6.07 or 6.08, LLC II shall not without the prior

written consent of Columbus Bank, sell, assign (by operation of law or

otherwise), transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral.

 

(e)    LLC II agrees that, from

time to time at its own cost and expense, it will promptly execute and deliver

and will cause to be executed and delivered all further instruments, assignments,

notices, agreements and documents, including, without limitation, financing and

continuation statements, and will take all further action and will cause all

further action to be taken, that may be necessary or desirable, or that

Columbus Bank may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any

security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby and the priority

thereof or to enable Columbus Bank to exercise and enforce its rights and

remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing LLC II will:

 

(i)    if any Collateral shall be

evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument or negotiable document,

deliver and pledge to the Custodial Agent such promissory note, instrument or

negotiable document duly endorsed and accompanied by duly executed instruments

of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to

Columbus Bank;

 

(ii)    execute and file, record

or register such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto,

and such other instruments, assignments or notices, as may be necessary or

desirable, or as Columbus Bank may reasonably request, in order to perfect and

protect the security interests and other rights granted or purported to be granted

to Columbus Bank;

 

(iii)    furnish to Columbus Bank,

from time to time, (A) statements and schedules further identifying and

describing the Collateral; and (B) all monthly servicing reports and any

restatements or revisions thereto delivered to noteholders pursuant to the

applicable Indenture Supplement.

 

16

 

(iv)    at Columbus Bank’s written

request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect LLC II’s

right, title and interest in or to, or Columbus Bank’s security interest in,

the Collateral.

 

(f)    With respect to the

foregoing and the grant of the security interest hereunder, LLC II hereby

authorizes Columbus Bank at any time and from time to time to file one or more

financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all

or any part of the Collateral without the signature of LLC II where permitted

by law.

 

(g)    Other than as permitted

pursuant to Sections 6.06, 6.07 or 6.08, LLC II acknowledges that it is not

authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination

statement relating to the Collateral with respect to any financing statement

relating to the Collateral without the prior written consent of Columbus Bank,

subject to LLC II’s rights under Articles 1 and 9 of the UCC.

case of a temporary vacancy, which shall promptly be filled, the Managing

Member of LLC II shall have at least one director who qualifies as an

“Independent Director” as such term is defined in the articles of incorporation

of the Managing Member.

 

Section 5.03    Columbus Bank

Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.

 

From and after the occurrence and during the

continuation of an Event of Default, LLC II hereby irrevocably appoints

Columbus Bank as LLC II’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with 

 

17

 

full authority and power

in the place and stead of LLC II and in the name of LLC II, Columbus Bank or

otherwise, from time to time in Columbus Bank’s discretion to take any

appropriate action and to execute any instrument that Columbus Bank may deem

necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement with

respect to the Collateral (but Columbus Bank shall not be obligated to and

shall have no liability to LLC II or any third party for failure so to do)

including, without limitation:

 

(a)    to ask, demand, collect,

enforce, sue for, recover, compromise, receive, and give acquittance and

receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the

Collateral;

 

(b)    to receive, endorse, and

collect any checks, drafts or other instruments, documents, and chattel paper

any action or institute any proceedings (or to settle, adjust or compromise any

such proceeding) that Columbus Bank may deem necessary or desirable for the

collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of LLC

II with respect to any of the Collateral;

 

(d)    to perform the affirmative

obligations of LLC II hereunder;

 

(e)    to execute and deliver for

any rights, benefits or options created or existing under or pursuant to the

Collateral; and

 

(f)    to execute endorsements,

assignments, or other instruments of conveyance and transfer relating to the

Collateral.

 

LLC II hereby

acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney granted pursuant

to this Section 5.03 is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

 

Section

5.04    Columbus Bank May Perform.

 

If LLC II fails to

perform in any material respect any agreement contained herein, Columbus Bank

may itself (but shall not be obliged to) perform, or cause performance of, such

agreement, provided that Columbus Bank shall in any event first have given

LLC II written notice of its intent to do the same and LLC II shall not have,

within 30 days of such notice (or such shorter period as Columbus Bank may

reasonably determine is necessary in order to preserve the benefits of this

Agreement with respect to any material portion of the Collateral), paid such

claim or obtained to Columbus Bank’s satisfaction the release of the claim or

Lien to which such notice relates.  LLC

II agrees to reimburse Columbus Bank upon demand for any reasonable

out-of-pocket, third-party costs and expenses, including, without limitation,

reasonable attorneys’ fees, Columbus Bank incurs while acting as

it, in accordance herewith.

Subject to the provisions of Section 9-207 of the UCC,

it is understood and agreed between the parties hereto that Columbus Bank’s

duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping, and physical preservation of the

Columbus Bank deals with similar property for its own account; provided,

however, that Columbus Bank shall not be required to make any

presentment, demand, or protest, or give any notice, and need not take any

action to preserve any rights against any other Person with respect to the

SECURITY

Section

6.01    Grant of Security.

 

As collateral security for the prompt, full and

complete payment and performance when due of its obligations hereunder and for

so long as the Funding Exposure Amount is greater than zero, LLC II hereby

assigns and pledges to Columbus Bank, and hereby grants to Columbus Bank a

security interest in, all of LLC II’s right, title and interest in and to the

following property, whether now owned or existing or hereafter existing,

arising or acquired, and wherever located (the “Collateral”):

 

(a)    the Pledged Residual

Interests; and

 

(b)    all products and Proceeds

of and from any and all of the foregoing Collateral, all proceeds which

constitute property of the types described in clause (a) above and, to the

extent not otherwise included, all proceeds and payments under insurance

(whether or not LLC II is the loss payee thereof), including return premiums

with respect thereto, or any indemnity, warranty, or guaranty payable by reason

of loss or damage to or otherwise with respect to any of the foregoing

Collateral.

 

Section 6.02    Continuing

Security Interest.

 

(a)    For so long as the Funding

Exposure Amount is greater than zero, this Agreement shall create a continuing

security interest in the Collateral and shall:

 

(i)    remain in full force and

effect until the payment and performance in full of all the obligations of LLC

II hereunder;

 

(ii)    be binding upon LLC II and

its successors, transferees and assigns; and

 

(iii)    inure, together with the

rights and remedies of Columbus Bank, to the benefit of Columbus Bank and its

successors and assigns.

 

(b)    Upon reduction of the

Funding Exposure Amount to zero, the security interest granted herein shall

terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to LLC II.  Upon any such termination, Columbus Bank

will, at LLC II’s sole expense, promptly execute and deliver to LLC II such

instruments and documents necessary and as LLC II shall reasonably request to

evidence such termination.

 

Section

6.03    LLC II Remains Liable.

 

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:

 

(a)    LLC II shall remain liable

under the contracts and agreements to which it is a party related to or

included in the Collateral to the extent set forth therein and shall perform

all 

 

20

 

of its duties and obligations under such contracts and

agreements to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed;

 

(b)    the exercise by Columbus

Bank of any of its rights and remedies hereunder shall not release LLC II from

any of its duties or obligations under any such contracts or agreements related

to or included in the Collateral; and

 

(c)    Columbus Bank shall not

have any obligation or liability under any such contracts or agreements related

to or included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, and Columbus Bank

shall not be obligated (i) to perform or fulfill any of the obligations or

duties of LLC II thereunder, (ii) to take any action to collect or

present, file and/or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder, or

(iii) to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment

LLC II may be entitled to receive thereunder.

 

Section 6.04    Representations

and Warranties of LLC II Regarding Collateral.  LLC II hereby represents and warrants to Columbus Bank as of the

date hereof and as of the Termination Date as follows:

 

(a)    LLC II owns, and has rights

and the power to transfer, each item of Collateral upon which it purports to

grant a lien hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens, except for the

security interest created by this Agreement. 

Except as otherwise permitted under Sections 6.06, 6.07 or 6.08, no

effective agreement, financing statement, assignment, Bank Lien or other

instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral is on

file or of record in any public office, except such as may have been filed in

favor of Columbus Bank relating to this Agreement.

 

(b)    This Agreement creates a

valid security interest in the Collateral securing the payment and performance

in full of the obligations of LLC II hereunder.  Upon the filing of appropriate financing statements in the

applicable filing offices in the jurisdictions listed in Schedule B

hereto, all filings, registrations and recordings necessary or appropriate to

create and perfect the first priority security interest granted by LLC II to

Columbus Bank in the Collateral will have been accomplished and will create a

perfected security interest therein prior to the rights of all other Persons

therein and subject to no other Bank Liens, except as otherwise permitted under

Sections 6.06, 6.07 or 6.08.

 

Section 6.05    Certain

Remedies.

 

If any Event of Default shall have occurred and is

continuing:

 

(a)    Columbus Bank may exercise

in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights available to it at

law or in equity or otherwise, all the rights and remedies of a secured party

on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected

Collateral) and also may (i) require LLC II to, and LLC II hereby agrees

that it will, at its expense and upon request of Columbus Bank forthwith,

assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Columbus Bank and make it

available to Columbus Bank at a place to be designated by Columbus Bank that is

reasonably convenient to both parties, (ii) exercise any and all rights

and remedies of LLC II under or in connection with the Collateral, (iii)

foreclose or otherwise enforce Columbus Bank’s security interest in any manner

permitted by law or provided for in 

 

21

 

this Agreement, (iv) without notice except as

specified below, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part

thereof in one or more parcels at one or more public or private sales, at any

place or places whether or not the Collateral is present at the place of sale,

for cash, on credit, or for future delivery, and upon such other terms and in

such manner as Columbus Bank may, in compliance with any mandatory requirements

of applicable law, determine to be commercially reasonable, (v) recover

from LLC II all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable

attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by Columbus Bank in exercising any right,

power, privilege or remedy provided by this Agreement or by law or in equity,

(vi) without notice or demand of legal process, all of which are hereby

expressly waived by LLC II, enter into property where any Collateral or books

and records relating thereto are located and take possession thereof with or

without judicial process, and (vii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral,

prepare it for disposition in any manner and to the extent Columbus Bank deems

appropriate; provided, however, that notwithstanding the

foregoing to the contrary, Columbus Bank may sell or otherwise dispose the

Collateral or any part thereof in its then condition without any preparation or

processing.  LLC II agrees that, to the

extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ prior

written notice to LLC II of the time and place of any public sale or the time

after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable

notification thereof.  Columbus Bank

shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of

sale having been given.  Columbus Bank

may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the

time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be

made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.  Upon any sale or other disposition pursuant

to this Agreement, Columbus Bank shall have the right to deliver, assign and

transfer to purchaser thereof the Collateral or any part thereof and transfer

to the purchaser thereof the Collateral or any part thereof so sold or disposed

of.  Each purchaser at any such sale or

other disposition (including Columbus Bank) shall hold the Collateral free from

any claim or right of whatever kind, including any equity or right of

redemption of LLC II and LLC II specifically waives (to the extent permitted by

law) all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under

any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted.

 

(b)    All cash proceeds received

by Columbus Bank in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other

realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied to the

Obligations.  Subject to Section

9-608(a) of the UCC, if any non-cash proceeds are received in connection with

any sale of Collateral, Columbus Bank shall not apply such non-cash proceeds to

the Obligations unless and until such proceeds are converted to cash; provided,

however, that if such non-cash proceeds are not expected on the date of

receipt thereof to be converted to cash within one year after such date,

Columbus Bank shall nonetheless use commercially reasonable efforts to convert

such non-cash proceeds to cash within such one year period.  Any surplus of such cash, cash proceeds or

non-cash proceeds held by Columbus Bank after payment in full of all the

Obligations shall be paid over to LLC II or to whomsoever may be lawfully

entitled to receive such surplus pursuant to Section 9-608 of the UCC.

 

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to

the contrary herein, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any transfer

of the Pledged Residual Interests (including in connection with Columbus Bank’s

exercise of its rights and remedies hereunder) is subject to the terms,

provisions and conditions set forth in the Indenture, including requirements

concerning the delivery of tax opinions with respect to any such transfer and

the tax status of any transferee, 

 

22

 

and the parties acknowledge and agree that nothing

herein waives such requirements or assures their satisfaction.

 

Section 6.06    Substitution of

Collateral.

 

(a)    LLC II may from time to

time substitute Eligible Collateral for the Collateral hereunder, subject to

satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 6.06.

 

(b)    Eligible Collateral shall

consist of (i) rights of CFC to receive payments in respect of notes issued

pursuant to the Indenture, which notes shall not be subordinated to any other

notes or class of notes issued pursuant to the Indenture and beneficially owned

by the CFC or any affiliate of CFC; (ii) rights of CFC to receive distributions

under the Trust Agreement, including, without limitation, Excess Finance Charge

Collections (as defined in the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and the related

Indenture Supplement), which rights are, in each case, not subject to any Bank

Lien immediately prior to grant of a security interest therein pursuant hereto

(collectively, “Eligible Collateral”).

 

(c)    Unless Columbus Bank shall

have given its prior written consent, no substitution of Collateral pursuant to

this Section 6.06 shall result in the percentage of Excess Interest Residuals

comprising the Pledged Residual Interests to exceed the percentage of Excess

Interest Residuals comprising the Residual Interests.

 

(d)    In connection with each

substitution of Collateral pursuant to this Section 6.06 LLC II shall deliver

to Columbus Bank an Officer’s Certificate substantially in the form attached as

Exhibit C to the Pledge and Security Agreement to the effect that after giving

the Pledged Residual Interests provided the following conditions have been

satisfied prior to or contemporaneous with creation of such Lien: (i) LLC II or

one of its affiliates shall have obtained a Qualifying Letter of Credit (as

defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement) in favor of Columbus Bank in an

amount equal to the Substitution Amount (as defined in the Pledge and Security

Agreement); and (ii) CompuCredit shall have provided to Columbus Bank not less

than 10 Business Days prior to the creation of any Lien on the Pledged Residual

Interests or any portion thereof an Officer’s Certificate with respect to the

Residual Valuation, which Officer’s Certificate shall be in substantially the

form attached hereto as Exhibit C to the Pledge and Security Agreement.  Columbus Bank shall, if requested by LLC II

in connection with a Lien granted by LLC II in accordance with this agreement,

enter into an intercreditor agreement with the holder of such Lien, which

intercreditor agreement shall contain usual and customary provisions regarding

the rights and obligations of the senior and junior lienholders.

 

(b)    LLC II shall not create

Bank Liens on the Pledged Residual Interests that would be junior to Columbus

Bank’s lien hereunder, unless LLC II, shall have obtained the prior written

consent of Columbus Bank; provided, however, that if (i) the

aggregate Residual Valuation of the Residual Interests is equal to or greater

than $175 million, and (ii) the net proceeds of the loan or loans secured by

such junior Bank Lien or Bank Liens on the Pledged Residual Interests are not

less than $5 million, then Columbus Bank’s prior written consent shall not be

required. LLC II shall cause the grantee of the security interest therein to

enter into an intercreditor agreement with Columbus Bank, which intercreditor

agreement shall contain usual and customary provisions regarding the rights and

obligations of the senior and junior lienholders.
