PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

PURCHASE AGREEMENT dated as of November 10, 2008 (this “Agreement”),
between CLST Asset I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”),
and ***** (the “Seller”).

 

WHEREAS, the Seller owns one hundred percent
(100%) of the equity interests in FCC Investment Trust I, a Delaware statutory
trust (the “Company”), the only assets of which are a portfolio of
receivables (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include certain
charged-off receivables previously identified in writing by the Seller to the
Purchaser and which charged-off receivables have been sold to a third party
prior to the date hereof) (individually, each a “Receivable” and
collectively, the “Receivables”);

 

WHEREAS, the Purchaser desires to purchase
from the Seller, and the Seller desires to sell to the Purchaser, all the
equity interests (and all ancillary rights and benefits in connection
therewith) in the Company (the “FCC Equity Interests”); and

 

WHEREAS, certain capitalized terms used herein
are defined in Exhibit A hereto, which Exhibit is incorporated
into this Agreement and made a part hereof.

 

Accordingly, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

 

Purchase
and Sale of the FCC Equity Interests

 

SECTION 1.01.      Purchase and Sale of the FCC Equity
Interests.  At least three (3) Business
Days in advance of the proposed purchase date, the Purchaser shall provide the
Seller a purchase notice specifying (a) the proposed purchase date, (b) the
cut-off date with respect to the Receivables, and (c) the proposed
Purchase Price (the “Purchase Notice”). 
Within one (1) Business Day of receipt of the Purchase Notice, the
Seller shall provide the Purchaser an accurate and complete listing of all
Receivables held by the Company as of the cut-off date specified in the
Purchase Notice (the “Receivables List”).  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions
of this Agreement, the Seller shall sell, transfer and deliver to the
Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Seller, the FCC Equity
Interests for the Purchase Price (as defined below) in cash, on or before the
proposed purchase date.  The date on
which the consummation of the Transactions actually occurs shall be referred to
as the “Purchase Date”.

 

SECTION 1.02.      Transactions To Be Effected on the Purchase
Date.  On the Purchase Date subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement:

 

(a)  The Seller
shall deliver to the Purchaser a duly executed instrument of assignment of the
FCC Equity Interests, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto
(the “Assignment”);

 

(b)  The Purchaser
shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Seller payment, by wire
transfer to a bank account designated in writing by the Seller (which
designation shall be

 

 

made at least two (2) Business
Days prior to the Purchase Date) in immediately available funds, an amount
equal to the Purchase Price; and

 

(c)  The Seller
shall deliver to the Purchaser (or its designated custodian) the Required
Receivable File with respect to each Receivable.

 

SECTION 1.03.      Purchase Price.  With respect to the purchase of the FCC
Equity Interests, the Purchaser shall pay a purchase price on the Purchase Date
equal to the amount determined based on the Eligible Receivables owned by the
Company as of the cut-off date specified in the Purchase Notice and approved by
the Purchaser as of the Purchase Date (the “Purchase Price”).

 

SECTION 1.04.      Certain Payments from Obligors.  If the Seller receives any payment from an
Obligor following the Purchase Date with respect to any Receivable, it shall hold
all such amounts in trust for the Company and shall forward such payment to the
Company within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof.

 

ARTICLE II

 

Representations
and Warranties

Relating to the Seller and the FCC Equity Interests

 

The Seller
hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser as of the date of this
Agreement and as of the Purchase Date, as follows:

 

SECTION 2.01.      Organization, Standing and Power.  The Seller is a limited partnership duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware and has full power and authority and possesses all governmental
franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals necessary to enable
it to own, lease or otherwise hold its properties and assets, including the FCC
Equity Interests, and to conduct its business as currently conducted, other
than such franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals the lack
of which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to
have a Seller Material Adverse Effect.

 

SECTION 2.02.      Authority; Execution and Delivery;
Enforceability.  The Seller has full
power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the
other agreements and instruments executed and delivered in connection with this
Agreement (the “Ancillary Agreements”) to which it is a party and to
consummate the Transactions.  The
execution and delivery by the Seller of this Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements to which it is a party and the consummation by the Seller of the
Transactions have been duly authorized by all necessary limited partnership
action.  The Seller has duly executed and
delivered this Agreement, and prior to the Purchase Date, will have duly
executed and delivered each Ancillary Agreement to which it is a party, and
this Agreement constitutes, and each Ancillary Agreement to which it is a party
will,  on and after the Purchase Date,
constitute, its valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable against it in
accordance with its respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer and
other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to
general equitable

 

2

 

principles (regardless of
whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including concepts of
commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible
unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief.

 

SECTION 2.03.      No Conflicts; Consents.  The execution and delivery by the Seller of
this Agreement do not, the execution and delivery by the Seller of each
Ancillary Agreement to which it is a party do not and will not, and the
consummation of the Transactions and compliance by the Seller with the terms
hereof and thereof do not and will not conflict with, or result in any
violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both)
under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of
any obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, or result in the
creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Seller under,
any provision of (a) the Seller’s organizational documents, (b) any
legally binding contract, lease, license, indenture or agreement, or other
legally binding arrangement, to which the Seller is a party or by which any of
its properties or assets is bound or (c) any stay, judgment, order or
decree or statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation, domestic or
foreign, applicable to the Seller or its properties or assets, other than, in
the case of clauses (b) and (c) above, any such items that,
individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a
Seller Material Adverse Effect.  No
consent, approval, waiver, license, permit, order or authorization of, or
registration, declaration, notification or filing with, any Federal, state,
local or foreign government or any court of competent jurisdiction,
administrative agency or commission or other governmental authority or
instrumentality, domestic or foreign is required to be obtained or made by or
with respect to the Seller in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or the consummation of
the Transactions, other than those which if not obtained or made would not
reasonably be expected to have a Seller Material Adverse Effect.

 

SECTION 2.04.      The FCC Equity Interests.  The FCC Equity Interests represent one
hundred percent (100%) of the equity interests in the Company.  Except for the FCC Equity Interests, there
are no equity interests of the Company issued, reserved for issuance or
outstanding.  The Seller has good and
valid title to the FCC Equity Interests, free and clear of all Liens.  Upon completion of the transactions to be
effected on the Purchase Date, good and valid title to the FCC Equity Interests
will pass to the Purchaser, free and clear of any Liens, other than those
arising from acts of the Purchaser or its Affiliates.

 

SECTION 2.05.      Receivables.  (i)  The Receivables List is an accurate
and complete listing of all the Receivables held by the Company on the cut-off
date specified in the Purchase Notice and the information contained therein
with respect to the identity of such Receivables and the amounts owing
thereunder is true, correct and complete as of the Purchase Date, and (ii) all
Receivables held by the Company on the cut-off date specified in the Purchase
Notice constitute Eligible Receivables as of such cut-off date.

 

SECTION 2.06.      Breach of Certain Representations and
Warranties; Purchase.  The parties
hereto hereby agree that if there is a breach of any representation or warranty
made by the Seller in Section 2.05 relating to whether a Receivable
is an Eligible Receivable on the cut-off date, the party discovering such
breach shall promptly notify the other party that such breach has
occurred.  Unless such breach shall have
been remedied within thirty (30) business days of delivery of any such notice,
the Seller hereby agrees to purchase such Receivable no later than

 

3

 

five (5) Business
Days thereafter, in cash, for a purchase price equal to that portion of the
Purchase Price allocable to such Receivable (less any principal payments
received by the Purchaser thereon since the cut-off date).  Each of the Seller and the Purchaser agrees
to execute and deliver from time to time such documents and instruments as
reasonably requested by the other party hereto to give effect to the provisions
of this Section 2.06.  The
exclusive remedy for a breach of any representation or warranty made by the
Seller in Section 2.05 shall be the remedy provided in this Section 2.06.

 

SECTION 2.07.      Solvency.  The Seller is not subject to any Insolvency
Proceedings or Insolvency Event.  After
giving effect to the Transaction, the Seller is and will be Solvent and able to
pay its debts as they come due, and has and will have adequate capital in light
of its business.

 

SECTION 2.08.      Nature of Purchases.  On the Purchase Date, the Purchaser has given
reasonably equivalent value to the Seller in consideration for the Transaction.

 

SECTION 2.09.      Brokers or Finders.  No agent, broker, investment banker or other
firm or Person is or will be entitled to any broker’s or finder’s fee or any
other commission or similar fee in connection with the Transactions based upon
arrangements made by or on behalf of the Seller.

 

SECTION 2.10.      Proceedings.  There are no actions, suits, arbitrations,
mediations, proceedings, investigations or inquiries, whether civil, criminal
or administrative, pending or, to the knowledge of the Seller, threatened
against the Seller that (i) assert the invalidity of this Agreement or any
Ancillary Agreement to which the Seller is a party or (ii) would prevent
it from performing its duties under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement

(a)  From and
after the date of this Agreement, the Seller shall be liable for, and shall
indemnify each of the Purchaser and its Affiliates, and their respective
officers, directors, managers, employees, agents and representatives including,
after the Purchase Date, the Company (each, a “Purchaser Indemnitee”),
against and hold it harmless from, any loss, liability, claim, damage or
expense including reasonable legal fees and expenses (collectively, “Losses”),
suffered or incurred by such Purchaser Indemnitee to the extent arising from:

 

(i)            any breach of any representation or
warranty of the Seller contained in this Agreement; and

 

(ii)           any breach of any agreement or
covenant of the Seller contained in this Agreement.

 

(b)  Except
as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, including, without
limitation, Section 2.06, or in any Ancillary Agreement, the
Purchaser acknowledges that its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any
and all claims relating to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the
Transactions, the Company and its assets and liabilities (other than claims of,
or causes of action arising from, fraud or criminal activity) shall be pursuant
to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII.

 

SECTION 8.02.      Indemnification by Purchaser.

 

(a)  From and
after the date of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall indemnify each of the
Seller and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, managers,
employees, agents and representatives (each, a “Seller Indemnitee”),
against and hold it harmless from any Loss suffered or incurred by such Seller
Indemnitee to the extent arising from:

 

15

 

(i)            any breach of any representation or
warranty of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement; and

 

(ii)           any breach of any agreement or
covenant of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement.

 

SECTION 8.03.      Limits on Indemnification.  In no event shall any indemnifying party have
liability for any consequential, incidental, indirect, punitive, special or
exemplary damages, lost profits, diminution in value or similar items, or any
other damages that are not a reasonably foreseeable consequence of the breach
giving rise to the claim for indemnification. 
A party shall not be required to indemnify, and shall not have any
liability, under this Article VIII, to the extent the liability or
obligation arises as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the other party or any of the other party’s Affiliates.

 

SECTION 8.04.      Procedures.

 

(a)  Third
Party Claims.  In order for a Person
(the “indemnified party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided
under Sections 8.01 or 8.02 in respect of, arising out of or
involving a claim made by any Person against the indemnified party (a “Third
Party Claim”), such indemnified party must notify the indemnifying party in
writing (and in reasonable detail) of the Third Party Claim within ten (10) Business
Days after receipt by such indemnified party of notice of the Third Party
Claim; provided that failure to give such
notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to
the extent the indemnifying party shall have been actually prejudiced as a
result of such failure.  Thereafter, the
indemnified party shall deliver to the indemnifying party, as promptly as
practicable and in any event within five (5) Business Days’ time after the
indemnified party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and material
documents (including court papers) received by the indemnified party relating
to the Third Party Claim.

 

(b)  Assumption.  If a Third Party Claim is made against an
indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in
the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with
counsel selected by the indemnifying party; provided that
such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the indemnified party.  Should the indemnifying party so elect to
assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall not be
liable to the indemnified party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by
the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof provided that if (i) the indemnifying party fails to
take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such matter or (ii) a
reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party, the indemnified party may assume its own
defense, and the indemnifying party shall be liable for all reasonable costs or
expenses paid or incurred by the indemnified party in connection therewith.  If the indemnifying party assumes such
defense, the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in the
defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the
counsel employed by the indemnifying party, it being understood that the
indemnifying party shall control such defense. 
The indemnifying party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of
counsel employed by the indemnified party for any period during which the
indemnifying party has not assumed the defense thereof.  If the indemnifying party elects to assume
the defense of a Third Party Claim, all the indemnified parties shall cooperate
(at the indemnifying party’s

 

16

 

request) in the defense
thereof.  Such cooperation shall include
the retention and (upon the indemnifying party’s request) the provision to the
indemnifying party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to
such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient
basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material
provided hereunder.  Whether or not the
indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the indemnified
party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or
discharge, such Third Party Claim without the indemnifying party’s prior
written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).  If the indemnifying party assumes the defense
of a Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall be authorized to consent
to any settlement, judgment, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim,
without the consent of any indemnified party, provided
that such settlement, judgment, compromise or discharge involves solely the
payment of money and obligates the indemnifying party to pay the full amount of
any damages in connection therewith.

 

(c)  Other
Claims.  In the event any indemnified
party should have a claim against any indemnifying party under Sections 8.01
or 8.02  that does not involve a
Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such
indemnified party, the indemnified party shall deliver written notice of such
claim with reasonable promptness to the indemnifying party.  The failure by any indemnified party so to
notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any
liability that it may have to such indemnified party under Section 8.01
or 8.02, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been
prejudiced by such failure.  All the
indemnified parties shall cooperate in the investigation by the indemnifying
party of any such claim.  Such
cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the indemnifying party’s
request) the provision to the indemnifying party of records and information
that are reasonably relevant to such claim, and making employees available on a
mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of
any material provided hereunder.

 

(d)  Mitigation.  The Purchaser and the Seller shall cooperate
with each other with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect
to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder,
including by using all reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim
or liability.

 

SECTION 8.05.      Survival of Representations.  The representations and warranties, covenants
and agreements contained in this Agreement and in any document delivered in
connection herewith shall survive indefinitely solely for purposes of this Article VIII
and Section 2.06.

 

SECTION 8.06.      No Additional Representations.  The Purchaser acknowledges that it and its
representatives have been permitted full and complete access to the books and
records, facilities, tax returns, contracts and other properties and assets of
the Company that it and its representatives have desired or requested to see or
review, and that it and its representatives have had a full opportunity to meet
with the officers and employees of the Seller to discuss the business of the
Company.  The Purchaser acknowledges and
agrees that (a) it has made its own inquiry and investigation into, and,
based thereon, has formed an independent judgment concerning, the Company and
its business, (b) none of the Seller, the Company, their representatives
or any other Person has made any representation or warranty, expressed or

 

17

 

implied, as to the
Company or its business or the accuracy or completeness of any information
regarding the Company or its business furnished or made available to Purchaser
and its representatives, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or the
Ancillary Agreements, (c) the Purchaser has not relied on any
representation or warranty from the Seller, the Company, their representatives
or any other Person in determining to enter into this Agreement, except as
expressly set forth in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, and (d) none
of the Seller or any other Person shall have or be subject to any liability to
the Purchaser or any other Person resulting from the distribution to the
Purchaser, or the Purchaser’s use of, any such information, including any
information, documents or material made available to the Purchaser in any
physical or electronic “data rooms”, management presentations or in any other
form in expectation of the Transactions. 
The Purchaser acknowledges that, should the Purchase Date occur, the
Purchaser shall acquire the assets of the Company without any representation or
warranty as to merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose, in an “as
is” condition and on a “where is” basis, except as otherwise expressly set
forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

 

SECTION 8.07.      Indemnification If Negligence Of
Indemnified Party.  THE
INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS IN THIS ARTICLE VIII SHALL BE ENFORCEABLE REGARDLESS
OF WHETHER THE LIABILITY IS BASED ON PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE ACTS, CLAIMS OR
LEGAL REQUIREMENTS AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE PERSON
FROM WHOM  INDEMNIFICATION IS SOUGHT)
ALLEGES OR PROVES THE SOLE, CONCURRENT, CONTRIBUTORY OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE
OF THE PERSON SEEKING INDEMNIFICATION OR THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT STRICT
LIABILITY IMPOSED ON THE PERSON SEEKING INDEMNIFICATION.  THE PARTIES AGREE THE PRECEDING SENTENCE IS
COMMERCIALLY CONSPICUOUS.  Each
Indemnified Party’s rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement will not be
deemed waived by such Indemnified Party’s consummation of the Transactions and
will be effective regardless of any inspection or investigation conducted, or
the awareness of any matters acquired (or capable or reasonably capable of
being acquired), by or on behalf of such indemnified party or by its directors,
officers, employees or representatives or at any time (regardless of whether
notice of such knowledge has been given to indemnifying party), whether before
or after the date of this Agreement or the Purchase Date with respect to any
circumstances constituting a condition under this Agreement, unless any waiver
specifically so states.

ARTICLE II

THE NOTE

 

Section 2.1.             The Note.

 

(a)           On the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, the Borrower shall deliver on the Closing Date to the
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, one duly executed promissory
note in substantially the form of Exhibit B (the “Note”)
dated as of the date of this Agreement, and otherwise duly completed.  The face amount and maximum principal balance
of the Note shall be $34,891,977.97.

 

(b)           At least two Business Days prior to
the Closing Date, the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) will provide the
Administrative Agent with a wire disbursement and authorization form
instructing the Administrative Agent of the account where the Borrower requests
the Loan be funded.  On the Closing Date,
and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth and the
satisfaction of all conditions precedent in Article III, each
Lender shall fund its Pro Rata Share of the Loan to the Borrower, in
immediately available funds via wire transfer, in accordance with the written
instructions of the Borrower, provided that the amount of the Loan funded shall
not exceed the Maximum Outstanding Loan Amount.

 

(c)           The Borrower may, within 90 days but
not less than 30 days prior to the Maturity Date, by written notice to the
Administrative Agent, make a request for each Lender to extend the Maturity
Date for an additional period of 364 days. 
The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of receipt of
such notice.  The Administrative Agent
and each Lender shall make a determination, in their sole discretion, within 15
days of the date of the Borrower’s request for such extension, as to whether or
not it will agree to the applicable extension requested.  The failure of the Administrative Agent and
each Lender to provide timely notice of its decision to the Borrower shall be
deemed to constitute a refusal by the Administrative Agent and each Lender to
extend the applicable date.  The Borrower
confirms that the Administrative Agent and each Lender, in their sole and
absolute discretion, without regard to the value or performance of the
Collateral or any other factor, may elect not to extend the Maturity Date.  The Borrower shall give prompt notice to the
Backup Servicer and the Collateral Custodian as to whether or not the Maturity
Date has been extended.  In the event the
Maturity Date has not been extended the Borrower may repay the Outstanding Loan
Balance and all other Aggregate Unpaids in accordance with Section 2.6
by transferring the remaining Collateral to an Affiliate (including, but not
limited to, the existing financing facility between the Administrative Agent
and Fair Facility I, LLC, subject to the availability and terms of such
facility); provided that if the Borrower chooses
not to exercise such option then the Borrower shall pay all amounts necessary
to reduce the Outstanding Loan Balance to $0 pursuant to Section 2.6.

 

Section 2.2.                                          [Reserved]

 

27

 

Section 2.3.                                          Determination
of Interest.

 

(a)           The Administrative Agent shall
determine, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Interest Rate
and the Interest (including unpaid Interest related thereto, if any, due and
payable on a prior Payment Date) to be paid by the Borrower with respect to the
Loan on each Payment Date for the related Accrual Period and shall advise the
Borrower, the Servicer and each Lender thereof not later than 2:00 p.m. on
the third Business Day following the end of each Collection Period.  The Borrower shall pay all Interest due for
each applicable Accrual Period pursuant to Section 2.6.

 

(b)           Anything in this Agreement or the
other Transaction Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, if at any time the
rate of interest payable by any Person under this Agreement and the Transaction
Documents exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under Applicable Law
(the “Maximum Lawful Rate”),
then, so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be exceeded, the rate of
interest under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall be equal to
the Maximum Lawful Rate.  If at any time
thereafter the rate of interest payable under this Agreement and the
Transaction Documents is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, such Person shall
continue to pay interest under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents at
the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received from
such Person is equal to the total interest that would have been received had
Applicable Law not limited the interest rate payable under this Agreement and
the Transaction Documents.  In no event
shall the total interest received by a Lender under this Agreement and the
Transaction Documents exceed the amount that such Lender could lawfully have
received, had the interest due under this Agreement and the Transaction
Documents been calculated since the Closing Date at the Maximum Lawful Rate.

 

Section 2.4.                                          Notations
on the Note.

 

The
Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to enter on a schedule attached to
the Note a notation (which may be computer generated) or to otherwise record in
its internal books and records or computer system with respect to the Loan (a) the
date of the funding of the Loan and principal amount thereof and (b) each
repayment of principal thereof.  Any such
recordation shall, absent manifest error, constitute prima facie evidence of
the Outstanding Loan Balance under the Note. 
The failure of the Administrative Agent to make any such notation on the
schedule attached to the Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation
of the Borrower to repay the Loan in accordance with the terms set forth
herein.

 

Section 2.5.                                          Principal
Repayments.

 

(a)           Unless sooner prepaid pursuant to Section 2.6,
the Outstanding Loan Balance shall be repaid in full on the Termination Date.

 

(b)           If as of any Measurement Date the
Outstanding Loan Balance exceeds the Maximum Outstanding Loan Amount (including
as a result of an Eligible Receivable becoming a Defaulted Receivable), the
Borrower shall within five (5) Business Days of the actual knowledge thereof by
a Responsible Officer deposit the Required Reduction Amount into the Collection
Account.

hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days for the
actual number of days elapsed.

 

(b)           Whenever any payment hereunder shall
be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be
made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in
such case be included in the computation of the payment of Interest or any fee

Section 2.9.                                          [Reserved]

 

Section 2.10.                                   Increased
Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality.

 

(a)           If after the Closing Date or with
respect to a particular Lender, the date such Lender joins this Agreement
pursuant to Section 13.16 either (i) the introduction of or
any change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or
increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any Applicable
Law or (ii) the compliance by a Lender with any guideline or request from
any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the
force of law), shall (A) subject a Lender to any Tax (except net income,
gross income or franchise and similar taxes imposed on any Lender by a taxing
jurisdiction in which any such Person is organized, conducts business or is
paying taxes (as the case may be)), duty or other charge with respect to any
interest in the Collateral, or any right or obligation to make the Loan
hereunder, or on any payment made hereunder, (B) impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve requirement (including, without limitation, any reserve
requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,
but excluding any reserve requirement, if any, included in the determination of
Interest), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits
with or for the amount of, or credit extended by, any Lender under this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document or (C) impose any other
condition affecting the ownership or security interest in the Collateral
conveyed to the Lenders hereunder or any Lender’s rights hereunder or under any
other Transaction Document, the result of which is to increase the cost to any
Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by a Lender
under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document, then on the
Payment Date following demand by such Lender (or the next Payment Date, if such
demand is given less than five (5) days prior to a Payment Date) (which
demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail
the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional
or increased cost incurred or such reduction suffered.

 

(b)           If either (i) the introduction
of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, guideline, rule, regulation,
directive or request or (ii) compliance by any Lender with any law,
guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request from any central bank or
other 

 

31

 

governmental authority or
agency (whether or not having the force of law), including, without limitation,
compliance by a Lender with any request or directive regarding capital
adequacy, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the
capital of any Lender as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising
in connection herewith to a level below that which any such Lender could have
achieved on the date it became a Lender, and to such extent, but for such
introduction, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of
such Lender with respect to capital adequacy) by a material amount, then from
time to time, on the Payment Date following demand by such Lender (or the next
Payment Date, if such demand is given less than five (5) days prior to a
Payment Date) (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth
in reasonable detail the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay
directly to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender for such reduction.  For the
avoidance of doubt, if the issuance of any amendment or supplement to
Interpretation No. 46 or to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140
by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or any other change in accounting
standards or the issuance of any other pronouncement, release or
interpretation, causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion of the
assets and liabilities of the Borrower with the assets and liabilities of any
Lender or shall otherwise impose any loss, cost, expense, reduction of return
on capital or other loss or any Lender, such event shall constitute a
circumstance on which such Lender may base a claim for reimbursement under this
Section 2.10.

 

(c)           In determining any amount provided
for in this Section 2.10, the Lender may use any reasonable
averaging and attribution methods.  Any
Lender making a claim under this Section 2.10 shall submit to the
Servicer and the Borrower a written description in reasonable detail as to such
additional or increased cost or reduction and the calculation thereof, which
written description shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)           Failure or delay on the part of any
Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall
not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand or receive such
compensation.  The Borrower shall not be
required to compensate a Lender for any loss, cost or expense under this Section unless
a claim therefor has been made within 180 days of knowledge thereof by such
Lender.

 

Section 2.11.                                   Taxes.

 

(a)           All payments made by the Borrower or
the Servicer (on behalf of the Borrower) under this Agreement will be made free
and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any
Taxes.  If any Taxes are required to be
withheld from any amounts payable hereunder, then the amount payable to such
Person will be increased (the amount of such increase, the “Additional
Amount”) such that every net payment made under this Agreement after
withholding for or on account of any Taxes (including, without limitation, any
Taxes on such increase) is not less than the amount that would have been paid
had no such deduction or withholding been made; provided
that no Additional Amount shall be payable hereunder to any Person to the
extent such amount is payable as a result of the failure of such Person to
comply with Section 2.11(d). 
The foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts with respect to
payments required to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement will not,
however, apply with respect to net income, gross income or franchise and
similar taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

 

32

 

(b)           The initial Servicer will indemnify
(and to the extent the indemnification provided by the initial Servicer is
insufficient, the Borrower will indemnify) each Lender for the full amount of
Taxes payable by such Persons in respect of Additional Amounts and any
liability (including interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto; provided that no indemnification shall
be payable hereunder to any Person to the extent such amount is payable as a
result of the failure of such Person to comply with Section 2.11(d).  All payments in respect of this
indemnification shall be made on the Payment Date following the date a written
invoice therefor setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation
of such amounts is delivered to the Borrower. 
In the event any Secured Party receives a refund of any amount paid by
the Borrower or the initial Servicer pursuant to this Section 2.11,
as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Secured
Party shall promptly remit such refunded amount to the Borrower or the initial
Servicer, as applicable.

 

(c)           Within thirty (30) days after the
date of any payment by the Borrower of any Taxes, the Borrower will furnish to
the Administrative Agent appropriate evidence of payment thereof.

 

(d)           If any Lender is not created or
organized under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof,
such Lender (or the Administrative Agent on the Lender’s behalf) shall deliver
to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Custodian and the Servicer, (i) within fifteen (15) days after the date
such Lender becomes party to the applicable Transaction Documents, two (or such
other number as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Law) duly
completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI (or any successor
forms or other certificates or statements that may be required from time to
time by the relevant United States taxing authorities or Applicable Law), as
appropriate, to permit the Borrower to make payments hereunder for the account
of such Lender without deduction or withholding of United States federal income
or similar Taxes and (ii) upon the obsolescence of or after the occurrence
of any event requiring a change in, any form or certificate previously
delivered pursuant to this Section 2.11(d), copies (in such numbers
as may from time to time be prescribed by Applicable Law or regulations) of
such additional, amended or successor forms, certificates or statements as may
be required under Applicable Law to permit the Borrower to make payments
hereunder for the account of such Lender without deduction or withholding of
United States federal income or similar Taxes (and, in either case, the
Borrower shall be permitted to withhold, without penalty or liability, amounts
it deems reasonably necessary if such documentation is not delivered
hereunder).  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any additional costs or expenses that are due to the fact that a
Lender is not created or organized in the United States shall not be passed
through to the Borrower.

 

(e)           Without prejudice to the survival of
any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations
of the Borrower and the Servicer contained in this Section 2.11
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 2.12.                                   Assignment
of the Contractor Sale Agreements.

 

The Borrower
hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the
Secured Parties hereunder, all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in
and to, but none of its obligations under the Contractor Sale Agreements
(including all buyback obligations of the 

 

33

 

applicable Contractors) and any UCC financing statements filed under or
in connection therewith.  The Borrower
confirms that at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon
ten (10) days written notice to the Borrower and the Servicer, the
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the sole
right to enforce the Borrower’s rights and remedies under the Contractor Sale
Agreements for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

and Warranties of the Borrower.

 

The Borrower
represents and warrants as follows as of the Closing Date and as of each
Measurement Date (in each and every case solely with respect to the period

as a statutory trust, and has obtained all necessary qualifications, licenses
and approvals, in all jurisdictions in which the conduct of its business
requires such qualifications, licenses or approvals except to the extent that
failure to obtain all necessary qualifications, licenses, or approvals could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(c)           Power and Authority; Due
Authorization; Execution and Delivery. 
The Borrower (i) has all necessary power, authority and legal right
to (A) execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Transaction

This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the Borrower
is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower.

 

(d)           Binding Obligation.  This Agreement and each other Transaction
Document to which the Borrower is a party constitutes a legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower 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, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute
(with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, the Trust
Agreement or any Contractual Obligation of the Borrower, (ii) result in
the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of
the Borrower’s properties pursuant to the terms of any such Contractual
Obligation, other than this Agreement, or (iii) violate any Applicable Law
applicable to the Borrower, in each case except to the extent that such conflict,
breach, default, creation, imposition, or violation could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(f)            No Proceedings.  There is no litigation, proceeding or
investigation pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened
against the Borrower in writing, before any Governmental Authority (i) asserting

Borrower is a party, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document to which the Borrower is a party or (iii) seeking any

this Agreement and any other Transaction Document to which the Borrower is a
party have been obtained except to the extent that any such failure to acquire
such approvals, authorizations, consents, orders or licenses, or take such
other actions, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

 

(h)           Solvency.  The Borrower is not the subject of any
Insolvency Proceedings or Insolvency Event. 
The transactions under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document
to which the Borrower is a party do not and will not render the Borrower not
Solvent.

and, to the Borrower’s knowledge, no claim is being asserted, with respect to
any such Tax or assessment.

 

(j)            Exchange Act Compliance;
Regulations T, U and X.  None of the

without limitation, Regulations T, U and X of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, 12 C.F.R., Chapter II.

accounts” as defined in the applicable UCC;

(vii)         other than the security interest
granted to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, pursuant

Collateral;

 

(xi)                                with
respect to Collateral that constitutes a “certificated security,” such
certificated security has been delivered to the Collateral Custodian on behalf
of the Administrative Agent and, if in registered form, has been specially Indorsed
to the Administrative Agent or in blank by an effective Indorsement or has been
registered in the name of the Administrative Agent upon original issue or
registration of transfer by the Borrower of such certificated security.

 

(l)                                     Reports
Accurate.  All Servicing Reports (if
prepared by the Borrower, or to the extent that information contained therein
is supplied by the Borrower), information, exhibits, financial statements,
documents, books, records or reports furnished by the Borrower to the Administrative

contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it

(with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, the
organizational documents or any Contractual Obligation of the Servicer, or (ii) violate
any Applicable Law, in each case except to the extent that such conflict,
breach, default, creation, imposition, or violation could not reasonably be

with Law.  The Servicer has complied
in all material respects with all Applicable Laws to which it may be subject,
and, to the knowledge of the Servicer, no Receivable in the Collateral
contravenes in any material respect any Applicable Laws, in each case except to
the extent that such lack of compliance or contravention could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that it shall not be a breach of Section 4.2(b) or

has not obtained all requisite licenses/registrations if (1) the Servicer

otherwise prevent the Servicer from satisfying in all material respects each of
its other covenants and obligations hereunder; provided
that the Servicer covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold each Indemnified
Party harmless against any and all losses actually incurred in connection with
the failure to obtain such licenses/registrations.

is hereby appointed as, and hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to
perform the duties and responsibilities of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms
hereof.

 

(b)                                 Successor
Servicer.  Upon the Borrower’s and
the Servicer’s receipt of a Servicer Termination Notice from the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 6.12, the Servicer agrees that it will terminate
its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that will facilitate the
transition of the performance of such activities to a successor Servicer, as
reasonably determined by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the
successor Servicer shall assume each and all of the Servicer’s obligations to
service and administer the Collateral, on the terms and subject to the
conditions herein set forth, and the Servicer shall use its best efforts to
assist the successor Servicer in assuming such obligations.

 

56

 

(c)                                  Subcontracts.  The Servicer may, with the prior written
consent of the Borrower and approval of the Administrative Agent (such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld) and with notice to the Backup Servicer,
subcontract with any other Person for servicing, administering or collecting
the Collateral; provided that the Servicer shall remain
liable for the performance of the duties and obligations of the Servicer
pursuant to the terms hereof without regard to any subcontracting arrangement.

 

(d)                                 Servicing
Programs.  In the event that the
initial Servicer uses any software program in servicing the Collateral that it
licenses from a third party, the initial Servicer shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain, either before the Closing Date or as soon as
possible thereafter, whatever licenses or approvals are necessary to allow the
Administrative Agent and the Backup Servicer to use such program and to allow
the initial Servicer to assign such licenses to the Backup Servicer or to any
other Successor Servicer appointed as provided in this Agreement.

 

Section 6.2.                                          Duties
of the Servicer.

 

(a)                                  Appointment.  The Borrower hereby appoints the Servicer as
its agent, as from time to time designated pursuant to Section 6.1,
to service the Collateral and enforce the Borrower’s rights in, to and under
such Collateral.  The Servicer hereby

Servicer and the Borrower hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent and
the other Secured Parties are third party beneficiaries of the obligations
undertaken by the Servicer hereunder.

 

(b)                                 Duties.  The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken

and Collection Policy and the Servicing Standard.  Without limiting the foregoing, the duties of
the Servicer  shall include the
following:

 

(i)                                     preparing
and submitting claims to, and acting as post-billing liaison with, Obligors on
each Receivable;

 

(ii)                                  maintaining
all reasonably necessary servicing records with respect to the Collateral and
providing such reports, information and servicing records to the Administrative
Agent and Collateral Custodian in respect of the servicing of the Collateral
(including information relating to the Servicer’s performance under this
Agreement) as may be required hereunder or as the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Custodian may reasonably request;

 

(iii)                               maintaining and
implementing administrative and operating procedures (including, without
limitation, an ability to recreate servicing records evidencing the Collateral
in the event of the destruction of the originals thereof) and keeping and
maintaining all documents, books, records and other information reasonably
necessary or advisable for the collection of the Collateral;

 

(iv)                              identifying
each Receivable clearly and unambiguously in its servicing records to reflect
that such Receivable is owned by the Borrower and that the Borrower 

 

57

 

has granted a security interest therein to the Administrative Agent for
the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement;

 

(v)                                 notifying
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any material action, suit,
proceeding, dispute, offset, deduction, defense or counterclaim (A) that
is, or to the Servicer’s knowledge threatened to be, asserted by an Obligor
with respect to any Receivable (or portion thereof) of which it has knowledge
or has received notice; and (B) that could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect;

 

(vi)                              providing
written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, prior to the
effective date thereof, of any material proposed changes in the Credit and
Collection Policy;

 

(vii)                           maintaining the first
priority perfected security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) of the
Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, in the Collateral; and

 

(viii)                        maintaining the Servicing Files
with respect to Receivables; and

 

(ix)                                directing
the Collateral Custodian to make payments pursuant to the terms of the Servicing
Report in accordance with Section 2.6.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Secured Parties
of their rights hereunder shall not release the Servicer or the Borrower from
any of their duties or responsibilities with respect to the Collateral.  The Secured Parties, the Backup Servicer and
the Collateral Custodian shall not have any obligation or liability with
respect to any Collateral (except as otherwise provided herein in the case of
the Collateral Custodian and the Backup Servicer), nor shall any of them be
obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Servicer hereunder.

 

(d)                                 Any
payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to the Borrower
shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by
contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent, be
applied as a collection of a payment by such Obligor (starting with the oldest
such outstanding payment due) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable
thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of
such Obligor.

 

Section 6.3.                                Authorization
of the Servicer.

 

(a)                                  Each
of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent hereby authorizes the Servicer
(including any successor thereto) to take any and all reasonable steps in the
Borrower’s name and on the Borrower’s behalf necessary or desirable in the
determination of the Servicer and not inconsistent with the pledge by the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties,
hereunder, to collect all amounts due under any and all Collateral, including,
without limitation, endorsing any of their names on checks and other
instruments representing Collections, executing and delivering any and all instruments
of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge,
and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Collateral and, after
the delinquency of any Collateral and to the extent permitted under and in 

 

58

 

compliance with Applicable Law, to commence proceedings with respect to
enforcing payment thereof.  The Borrower
and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall furnish
the Servicer (and any successors thereto) with any powers of attorney and other
documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and shall cooperate with the
Servicer to the fullest extent in order to ensure the collectibility of the
Collateral.  In no event shall the
Servicer be entitled to make the Borrower, any Secured Party, the Backup
Servicer, the Collateral Custodian or the Administrative Agent a party to any
litigation without such party’s express prior written consent, or to make the
Borrower a party to any litigation (other than any routine foreclosure or
similar collection procedure) without the Administrative Agent’s consent.

 

(b)                                 After
the declaration of the Termination Date, at the direction of the Administrative
Agent (with notice to the Borrower), the Servicer shall take such action as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to enforce
collection of the Collateral; provided that the Administrative Agent may,
at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, notify any
Obligor with respect to any Collateral of the pledge of such Collateral to the
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and direct that
payments of all amounts due or to become due be made directly to the
Administrative Agent or any servicer, collection agent or account designated by
the Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent may enforce collection of any such
Collateral, and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof.

 

Section 6.4.                                          Collection
of Payments; Accounts.

 

(a)                                  Collection
Efforts, Modification of Collateral. 
The Servicer will use commercially reasonable efforts to collect, or
cause to be collected, all payments called for under the terms and provisions
of the Receivables included in the Collateral as and when the same become due
in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and the Servicing Standard.  The Servicer may not waive, modify or
otherwise vary any provision of an item of Collateral in a manner that would
impair the collectibility of the Collateral or in any manner contrary to the
Credit and Collection Policy and the Servicing Standard.

 

(b)                                 Prepaid
Receivable.  The Servicer may not
consent to a Receivable becoming a Prepaid Receivable, in whole or in part,
unless such prepayment (plus any concurrent deposits made by the Servicer) (i) will
not result in the Collection Account receiving an amount less than the sum of (A) the
Outstanding Receivable Balance (or portion thereof to be prepaid) on the date
of such payment, and (B) any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (such
sum, the “Prepayment Amount”) or (ii) is in compliance with the
Underlying Instruments for the applicable Receivable and such prepayment is
consented to by the Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

 

(c)                                  Acceleration.  If required by the Credit and Collection
Policy or if consistent with the Servicing Standard and the related Underlying
Instruments, the Servicer shall accelerate the maturity of all or any Scheduled
Payments and other amounts due under any Receivable promptly after such
Receivable becomes a Defaulted Receivable.

 

59

 

(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 Borrower for such application under the Underlying Instrument and
remit such amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority or insurer as
required by the Underlying Instruments.

 

(e)                                  Payments
to Lockbox Account.  On or before the
Closing Date, the Servicer shall have instructed all Obligors to make all
payments in respect of the Collateral directly to the applicable Lockbox
Account.

 

(f)                                    Accounts.  Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that
(i) each Account shall be deemed to be a Securities Account and (ii) except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Administrative Agent shall be
exclusively entitled to exercise the rights that comprise each Financial Asset
held in each Account.  Each of the
parties hereto hereby agrees to cause the Collateral Custodian or any other
Securities Intermediary that holds any money or other property for the Borrower
in an Account to agree with the parties hereto that (A) the cash and other
property (subject to Section 6.4(g) below with respect to any
property other than investment property, as defined in Section 9-102(a)(49)
of the UCC) is to be treated as a Financial Asset under Article 8 of the
UCC and (B) the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” (within the
meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC) for that purpose shall be the State
of New York.  In no event may any
Financial Asset held in any Account be registered in the name of, payable to
the order of, or specially Indorsed to, the Borrower, unless such Financial
Asset has also been Indorsed in blank or to the Collateral Custodian or other
Securities Intermediary that holds such Financial Asset in such Account.

 

(g)                                 Underlying
Instruments.  Notwithstanding any
term hereof (or any term of the UCC that might otherwise be construed to be
applicable to a “securities intermediary” as defined in the UCC) to the
contrary, none of the Collateral Custodian nor any Securities Intermediary
shall be under any duty or obligation in connection with the acquisition by the
Borrower of or the grant by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of a
security interest in any Receivable to examine or evaluate the sufficiency of
the documents or instruments delivered to it by or on behalf of the Borrower
under the related Underlying Instruments, or otherwise to examine the
Underlying Instruments, in order to determine or compel compliance with any
applicable requirements of or restrictions on transfer (including without
limitation any necessary consents).  The
Collateral Custodian shall hold any Instrument delivered to it evidencing any
Receivable hereunder as custodial agent for the Administrative Agent in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(h)                                 Establishment
of the Collection Account.  The
Servicer shall cause to be established, on or before the Closing Date, with the
Collateral Custodian, and maintained in the name of the Borrower, subject to
the Lien of the Administrative Agent, a segregated corporate trust account
entitled “Collection Account for FCC Investment Trust I” (the “Collection
Account”), over which the Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured
Parties, shall have control and from which neither the Servicer nor the
Borrower shall have any right of withdrawal.

 

60

 

(i)                                     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 6.5.                                          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
Administrative Agent 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 Borrower (other than
during the existence of any Event of Default), sell the Defaulted Receivable
for its fair market value (as determined by the Servicer in good faith) to an
independent third-party purchaser.  The
Servicer will remit to the Collection Account the Recoveries received in
connection with the sale or disposition of a Defaulted Receivable.

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 Borrower, but excluding Liquidation Expenses incurred as a
result of activities contemplated by Section 6.5.  The initial Servicer shall be required to pay
such expenses for its own account and shall not be entitled to any payment
therefor other than the Servicing Fee. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Backup Servicer is appointed
successor Servicer hereunder, it shall be entitled to reimbursement from the
Borrower for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in connection
with its servicing activities hereunder.

 

Section 6.8.                                          Reports.

include a certification by such Responsible Officer that, to its knowledge, no
Event of Default or Unmatured Event of 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 initial Servicer
will submit to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Backup Servicer, (i) within
thirty (30) days after the end of each of its fiscal quarters (excluding the
fiscal quarter ending on the date specified in subclause (ii) below),

twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal

to receive, to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to Section 2.6,
the Servicing Fee therefor until such date; provided that
any fees or expenses owed to the Servicer attributable to the period prior to
such date shall accrue and remain payable. 
The Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as applicable, may at any time
following delivery of a Servicer Termination Notice, by written notice to the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, and the Backup Servicer,
in its sole discretion and subject to clause (h) below, appoint the
Backup Servicer or Fair as the Servicer hereunder, and the Backup Servicer or
Fair, 

 

64

 

as the case may be, shall
on such date assume all obligations of the Servicer hereunder with respect to
servicing of the Collateral, and all authority and power of the Servicer under
this Agreement shall pass to and be vested in the Backup Servicer.  As compensation therefor, the Backup Servicer
or Fair, as the case may be, shall thereafter be entitled to the Servicing Fee
together with any other rights to reimbursement to which the Servicer is
entitled as specified herein, Transition Expenses and, solely in the case of
the Backup Servicer, the one-time successor servicer fee specified in the
Backup Servicing Fee Letter.  In the
event that the Administrative Agent does not so appoint the Backup Servicer
(which it may or may not do in its discretion), there is no Backup Servicer or
the Backup Servicer is unable to assume such obligations on such date, or the
Borrower does not so appoint Fair (which it may or may not do in its discretion),
or the Fair Servicing Condition is not satisfied, the Administrative Agent
shall as promptly as possible appoint a successor servicer (the “Successor
Servicer”), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a
written assumption in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each
Lender; provided that if a Servicer Default
occurs and the Servicer is not an Affiliate of the Borrower then the Borrower
shall appoint the Successor Servicer with the written consent of the Administrative
Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).  In the event that a Successor Servicer has
not accepted its appointment at the time when the Servicer ceases to act as
Servicer, the Administrative Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction
to appoint any established financial institution, having a net worth of not
less than $50,000,000 and whose regular business includes the servicing of
loans, as the Successor Servicer hereunder.

 

(b)                                 The
Backup Servicer as successor Servicer undertakes to perform only such duties
and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, it being
expressly understood by all parties hereto that there are no implied duties or
obligations of a successor Servicer hereunder.

 

(c)                                  The
Servicer agrees to cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts in
effecting the transition of the responsibilities and rights of servicing of the
Receivables, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Backup Servicer
as successor Servicer for the administration by it of all cash amounts that
shall at the time be held by Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by
the Servicer, or thereafter received with respect to the Receivables and the
delivery to the Backup Servicer as successor Servicer in an orderly and timely
fashion of all files and records with respect to the Receivables and a computer
tape in readable form containing all information necessary to enable the Backup
Servicer as successor Servicer to service the Receivables.  In addition, the Servicer agrees to cooperate
and use commercially reasonable efforts in providing at the Servicer’s expense
to the Backup Servicer, as successor Servicer, with a list of key servicing
personnel and contact information, reasonable access (including at the premises
of the Servicer) to the Servicer’s employees, and any and all of the books,
records (in electronic or other form) or other information reasonably requested
by it to enable the Backup Servicer, as a successor Servicer, to assume the
servicing functions hereunder.

 

(d)                                 The
Backup Servicer as a successor Servicer is authorized and empowered to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any
and all documents and other instruments, and to do so or accomplish all other
acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice
of termination or to perform the duties of the 

 

65

 

Servicer.  The Servicer will provide the Backup
Servicer, as successor Servicer, with a power of attorney stating such (at such
time as the Backup Servicer becomes successor Servicer).

 

(e)                                  Upon
its appointment, the Backup Servicer (subject to Section 6.13(a))
or the Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall be the successor in all respects
to the Servicer with respect to servicing functions under this Agreement and
shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating
thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all
references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the
Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable; provided that the Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable,
shall have (i) no liability with respect to any action performed by the
terminated Servicer prior to the date that the Backup Servicer or Successor
Servicer, as applicable, becomes the successor to the Servicer or any claim of
a third party based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated
Servicer, (ii) no obligation to perform any repurchase or advancing
obligations, if any, of the Servicer unless it elects to in its sole
discretion, (iii) no obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by
the Servicer (provided that the Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable,
shall pay any income taxes for which it is liable), (iv) no obligation to
pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to the transactions
contemplated hereby, (v) no liability or obligation with respect to any
indemnification obligations of any prior Servicer, (vi) no obligation to
make payments with respect to any losses on investments made by or at the
direction of the Servicer, (vii) no obligation to take any legal action
which the Backup Servicer in its reasonable opinion believes subjects it to any
liability in connection with such legal action unless it shall have been
assured to its reasonable satisfaction that it will be indemnified for such
liabilities, and (viii) no liability with respect to any action performed,
or breaches or defaults caused by any prior Servicer prior to its appointment,
or any claim of a third party based on any alleged action of any prior
Servicer.  The indemnification
obligations of the Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable,
upon becoming a successor Servicer, are expressly limited to those arising on
account of its failure to act in good faith and with reasonable care under the
circumstances.  In addition, the Backup
Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall have no liability relating
to the representations and warranties of the initial Servicer contained in Article IV.  In no event shall the Backup Servicer or the
Successor Servicer be liable for any indirect, special or consequential damages
(including lost profits) whether or not it has been advised of the likelihood
of such damages.

 

(f)                                    Upon
the Backup Servicer receiving notice that it is required to serve as the
Servicer hereunder pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.13,
the Backup Servicer will promptly begin the transition to its role as
Servicer.  In the event the Backup
Servicer declines to continue to act as Servicer hereunder, the Backup Servicer
shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from banks, specialty finance
companies, asset managers and servicing institutions meeting the qualifications
set forth in Section 6.13(a). 
Such public announcement shall specify that the Successor Servicer shall
be entitled to the full amount of the Servicing Fee as servicing
compensation.  Within thirty (30) days after
any such public announcement, the Backup Servicer shall negotiate and effect
the sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities
hereunder to a qualified party acceptable to the Administrative Agent
submitting a qualifying bid.  The Backup
Servicer shall deduct from any sum received by the Backup Servicer from the
successor to the Servicer in respect of such sale, transfer and assignment, all
costs and expenses of any public announcement, of conducting such 

 

66

 

sale and of any sale,
transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities
hereunder.  After such deductions, the
remainder of such sum shall be paid by the Backup Servicer to the Servicer at
the time of such sale, transfer and assignment to the Servicer’s
successor.  If no bid from a qualified
potential Successor Servicer is received or if no sale, transfer and assignment
of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder shall have been
concluded within thirty (30) days after such public announcement, the Backup
Servicer may, in its discretion, appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, any established financial institution as the successor
to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. As
compensation, any Successor Servicer (including, without limitation, the
Administrative Agent) so appointed shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee,
including, without limitation, Transition Expenses.  The Backup Servicer and such successor shall
take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession.  No
appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder shall be effective until
written notice of such proposed appointment shall have been provided by the
Backup Servicer to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and
the Backup Servicer shall have consented thereto.  The Backup Servicer shall not resign as
Servicer until a Successor Servicer has been appointed and accepted such
appointment.  Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Backup Servicer or Successor
Servicer be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the amount
of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce any
Successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or
provided for by this Agreement.

 

(g)                                 Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, any successor Servicer is
authorized to accept and rely on all of the accounting, records (including
computer records) and work of the prior Servicer relating to the Receivables
(collectively, the “Predecessor Servicer Work Product”) without any
audit or other examination thereof, and such successor Servicer shall have no
duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for the acts and omissions of the
prior Servicer.  If any error,
inaccuracy, omission or incorrect or non-standard practice or procedure
(collectively, “Errors”) exists in any Predecessor Servicer Work Product
and such Errors make it materially more difficult to service or should cause or
materially contribute to the successor Servicer making or continuing any Errors
(collectively, “Continued Errors”), such successor Servicer shall have
no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for such Continued Errors; provided that such successor Servicer agrees to use
commercially reasonable efforts to prevent further Continued Errors.  In the event that the successor Servicer
becomes aware of Errors or Continued Errors, it shall, with the prior consent
of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, use commercially reasonable
efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially reasonable to
correct such Errors and Continued Errors and to prevent future Continued
Errors.  Such successor Servicer shall be
entitled to recover its costs thereby expended in accordance with Section 2.6.

 

(h)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Section 6.13, promptly following delivery of a Servicer
Termination Notice but prior to the appointment of the Backup Servicer as
successor Servicer or any other Person as Successor Servicer pursuant to clause
(a) above, the Administrative Agent shall notify Fair of such receipt,
and, if the Fair Servicing Condition is satisfied, Fair may elect to be
appointed as Successor Servicer hereunder by written notice to the
Administrative Agent to such effect within two (2) Business Days of
receipt of such Servicer Termination Notice.

 

67

 

(i)                                     At any time prior to the occurrence of the
Termination Date, upon 90 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower, the Servicer and the Backup Servicer, if the Fair
Servicing Condition is satisfied, CLST may terminate all of the rights
and obligations of the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement (other than
fees or expenses owed to the Servicer which have accrued or been incurred prior
to the delivery of such notice) and appoint itself as successor Servicer
hereunder.

Section 7.6.                                          Limitation
on Liability.

shall believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such
risk or liability is not assured to it.

 

(b)                                 The
Backup Servicer shall not be liable for any obligation of the Servicer
contained in this Agreement or for any errors of the Servicer contained in any
computer tape, certificate or other data or document delivered to the Backup
Servicer hereunder or on which the Backup Servicer must rely in order to
perform its obligations hereunder, and the Secured Parties, the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Custodian each agree to look only to the Servicer to
perform such obligations.  Except as
expressly set forth herein, the Backup Servicer shall have no responsibility
and shall not be in default hereunder or incur any liability for any failure,
error, malfunction or any delay in carrying out any of its duties under this
Agreement if such failure or delay results from the Backup Servicer acting in
accordance with information prepared or provided by a Person other than the
Backup Servicer or the failure of any such other Person to prepare or provide such
information.  The Backup Servicer shall
have no responsibility, shall not be in default and shall incur no liability
for (i) any act or failure to act of any third party, including the
Servicer, (ii) any inaccuracy or omission in a notice or communication
received by the Backup Servicer from any third party, (iii) the invalidity
or unenforceability of any Collateral under Applicable Law, (iv) the
breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made with respect to any
Collateral, or (v) the acts or omissions of any successor Backup Servicer.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Backup Servicer shall not be liable for
any delays in performance for causes beyond its control, including, but not
limited to, acts of war or terrorism, powerline failures, fire, flood,
epidemic, acts of the Borrower, the Servicer or the Administrative Agent or
restriction by civil or military authority in their sovereign or contractual
capacities.  In the event of any such
delay, performance shall be extended for so long as such period of delay.

 

Section 7.7.                                          Backup
Servicer Resignation.

products and all copies made thereof, which were obtained by the Backup
Servicer from the Servicer (other than such copies that the Backup Servicer is
required to retain by law, rule or regulation) within three (3) Business
Days of its resignation.

the case of its willful misconduct, bad faith or grossly negligent performance
or omission of its duties and in the case of the negligent performance of its
Payment Duties and in the case of its negligent performance of its duties in

except upon the Collateral Custodian’s determination that (a) the
performance of its duties hereunder is or has become illegal under Applicable
Law and (b) there is no reasonable action that the Collateral Custodian
could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder legal under
Applicable Law.  Any such determination
permitting the resignation of the Collateral Custodian shall be evidenced as to

to the Administrative Agent.  No such
resignation shall become effective until a successor Collateral Custodian shall
have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Collateral Custodian hereunder.

written request for release in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G
and consented to by the Administrative Agent, to release to the Servicer within

Files set forth in such request and receipt to the Servicer.  All documents so released to the Servicer
shall be held by the Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The Servicer shall return to the Collateral
Custodian the Required Receivable Files (i) promptly upon the request of
the Administrative Agent, or (ii) when the Servicer’s need therefor in
connection with such foreclosure or servicing no longer exists, unless the
Receivable shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of an additional
request for release of documents and receipt certifying such liquidation from
the Servicer to the Collateral Custodian in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G,
the Servicer’s request and receipt submitted pursuant to the first sentence of
this subsection shall be released by the Collateral Custodian to the Servicer.

for Payment.  Upon receipt by the
Collateral Custodian of the Servicer’s request for release in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit G (which certification shall include a statement
to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment or
repurchase have been credited to the Collection Account as provided in this
Agreement), the Collateral Custodian shall promptly release the related

to the Collateral Custodian in error, (b) for which the Borrower has paid
all required amounts pursuant to Section 2.13 with respect to the
related Receivables, (c) related to any Receivable for which a 

 

75

 

Substitute
Receivable has been substituted in accordance with Section 2.13, or

the termination of this Agreement, in each case by submitting to the Collateral
Custodian and the Administrative Agent a written request in the form of Exhibit G
hereto (signed by both the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) specifying
the Collateral to be so returned and reciting that the conditions to such
release have been met (and specifying the Section or Sections of this
Agreement being relied upon for such release). 
The Collateral Custodian shall upon its receipt of each such request for
return executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly, but in
any event within five (5) Business Days, return the Required Receivable
File so requested to the Borrower.

to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Collateral; Audits.

 

The Servicer,
the Borrower and the Collateral Custodian shall provide to the Administrative
Agent access to the Required Receivable Files and all other documentation
regarding the Collateral including in such cases where the Administrative Agent
and each Lender are required in connection with the enforcement of the rights
or interests of the Secured Parties, or by applicable statutes or regulations,
to review such documentation, such access being afforded without charge but
only (a) upon two Business Days’ prior written request, (b) during
normal business hours and (c) subject to the Borrower’s, the Servicer’s
and Collateral Custodian’s normal security and confidentiality procedures.  Periodically at the discretion of the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may review the Servicer’s
collection and administration of the Collateral in order to assess compliance
by the Servicer with the Credit and Collection Policy and the Servicing
Standard, as well as with this Agreement and may conduct an audit of the
Collateral and Required Receivable Files in conjunction with such a review.  The Borrower and the Servicer shall permit
the Administrative Agent or its agents or representatives, to visit the offices
of each such Person during normal office hours and upon reasonable notice to
examine and make copies of all documents, books, records and other information
concerning the Collateral and discuss matters related thereto with any of the
officers of the Borrower or the Servicer having knowledge of such matters, and
the Borrower shall pay the costs and expenses for all such visits, subject to
the limitations in Section 13.9; provided
that other than during the existence of an Event of Default or Unmatured Event
of Default, such visits shall occur no more than four times per calendar
year.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
following the appointment of a successor Servicer to the initial Servicer, any
such visits or reviews of the Servicer shall be at the reviewer’s expense,
shall require at least five Business Days’ prior written notice and shall occur
no more than twice per calendar year. 
Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.10,
from time to time on request of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Custodian shall permit certified public accountants or other independent
auditors acceptable to the Administrative Agent to conduct, at the initial
Servicer’s expense, a review of the Required Receivable Files and all other
documentation regarding the Collateral.

ARTICLE IX

SECURITY INTEREST

 

Section 9.1.              Grant
of Security Interest.

 

This Agreement
constitutes a security agreement and the transactions effected hereby
constitute secured loans by the Lenders to the Borrower under Applicable
Law.  For such purpose, the Borrower
hereby transfers, conveys, assigns and grants as of the Closing Date to the
Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, a lien and continuing
security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and
under (but none of the obligations under) all Collateral and all cash, loans,
securities (whether or not marketable), liquidation proceeds of repossessed
assets, accounts, insurance policies (including any life insurance or
disability insurance policies maintained by obligors) and proceeds thereon,
contract rights, amounts or funds in escrow and accounts thereto, chattel
paper, financial assets, investment property, instruments, general intangibles,
payment intangibles, accounts, deposit accounts, money, documents, agreements,
investments and all other property and assets of any type or nature in which
the Borrower has an interest, whether now existing or hereafter arising or
acquired by the Borrower, and wherever the same may be located, to secure the
prompt and complete payment and performance in full when due, whether by lapse
of time, acceleration or otherwise, of all Aggregate Unpaids arising in
connection with this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, whether now
or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or
contingent.  The grant of a security
interest under this Section 9.1 does not constitute and is not
intended to result in a creation or an assumption by any of the Secured Parties
of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Person in connection with any or
all of the Collateral or under any agreement or instrument relating
thereto.  Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, (a) the Borrower shall remain liable under the Collateral
to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations
thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the
exercise by the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, of any
of its rights in the Collateral shall not release the Borrower from any of its
duties or obligations under the Collateral, and (c) no Secured Party shall
have any obligations or liability under the Collateral by reason of this
Agreement, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the
obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to
collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder. The Borrower
hereby authorizes Mayer Brown LLP to file, on behalf of the Administrative
Agent, a “Record” or “Records” (as such term is defined in the applicable UCC),
including financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, in all
jurisdictions and with all filing offices as the Administrative Agent may
determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the
security interests granted to the Administrative Agent in connection
herewith.  Such financing statements may
describe the collateral in the same manner as described herein or in any
security agreement or pledge agreement entered into by the parties in
connection herewith or may contain an indication or description of collateral
that describes such property in any other manner as the Administrative Agent
may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to
ensure the perfection of the security interests in the Collateral granted to
the Administrative Agent in connection herewith, including describing such
property as “all assets” or “all personal property.”

 

77

 

Section 9.2.              Release
of Lien on Collateral.

 

On the date (a) any
Receivable expires by its terms and all amounts in respect thereof have been
paid in full by the related Obligor and deposited in the Collection Account, (b) any
Receivable becomes a Prepaid Receivable and all amounts in respect thereof have
been paid in full by the related Obligor and deposited in the Collection
Account, (c) any Receivable is purchased by ***** pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, or (d) this Agreement terminates in accordance with Section 13.6,
the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, shall automatically
and without further action be deemed to transfer, assign and set-over to the
Borrower, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and
interest of the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties in, to
and under such Receivable (or all Receivables in the case of clause (d) above),
all related Collateral and all future monies due or to become due with respect
thereto.  The Administrative Agent, as
agent for the Secured Parties, shall, at the sole expense of the Borrower, (i) execute
such instruments of release in favor of the Borrower with respect to the
portion of the Collateral to be released from the Lien of this Agreement as the
Borrower may reasonably request (in recordable form if necessary), (ii) deliver
any portion of the Collateral to be released from the Lien of this Agreement in
its possession to the Borrower and (iii) otherwise take such actions, and
cause or permit the Collateral Custodian to take such actions, as are necessary
and appropriate to release the Lien of the Administrative Agent and the Secured
Parties on the portion of the Collateral to be released and deliver to the
Borrower such portion of the Collateral to be released to the Borrower.

 

Section 9.3.              Further
Assurances.

 

The provisions
of Section 13.12 shall apply to the security interest granted under
Section 9.1 as well as to the Loan hereunder.

 

Section 9.4.              Remedies.

 

Subject to the
provisions of Section 10.2, upon the occurrence and continuance of
an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have, with respect to the
Collateral granted pursuant to Section 9.1, and in addition to all
other rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent and the other
Secured Parties under this Agreement or other Applicable Law, all rights and
remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC.

 

Section 9.5.              Waiver
of Certain Laws.

 

The Borrower
and the Servicer each agree, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree,
that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or
seek to take advantage of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or
redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Collateral may
be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure
of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, or the absolute sale of any of
the Collateral or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into
possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and
each of the Borrower and the Servicer, for itself and all who may at any time
claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be
lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have
any of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral marshaled upon any
such sale, and

 

78

 

agrees that the Administrative
Agent or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests
granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety or in such
parcels as the Administrative Agent or such court may determine.

 

Section 9.6.              Power
of Attorney.

 

Each of the
Borrower and the initial Servicer hereby irrevocably appoints the
Administrative Agent to act upon and during the continuance of an Event of
Default as its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in
its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with the enforcement
of the rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement, in each case to the
extent so permitted hereunder, including without limitation the following
powers: (a) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts
collected or received hereunder, (b) to make all necessary transfers of
the Collateral in connection with any sale or other disposition made pursuant
to Section 9.4, (c) to execute and deliver for value all
necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection
with any such sale or other disposition and (d) to sign any agreements,
orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Transaction
Document, the Borrower and the initial Servicer (as the case may be) hereby
ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall
lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto. 
Nevertheless, if so requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower
shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and
delivering to the Administrative Agent or such purchaser all proper bills of
sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any
such request.

Termination Date to have occurred and the Note to be immediately due and
payable in full (without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind all
of which are hereby waived by the Borrower); provided that
in the case of any event described in Section 10.1(f), the Note
shall be immediately due and payable in full (without presentment, demand,
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower)
and the Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred automatically upon
the occurrence of any such event.

 

(b)           On
and after the declaration or occurrence of the Termination Date, all of the
Outstanding Loan Balance and other Aggregate Unpaids shall bear interest at the
Default Rate and the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this
Agreement or otherwise, all other rights and remedies provided under the UCC of
each applicable jurisdiction and other Applicable Laws, which rights shall be
cumulative, and also may require the Borrower and the initial Servicer to, and
the Borrower and the initial Servicer hereby agree that they will at the
initial Servicer’s expense and upon request of the Administrative Agent
forthwith, (i) assemble all or any part of the Collateral as directed by
the Administrative Agent and make the same available to the Administrative
Agent at a place to be designated by the Administrative Agent and (ii) without
notice, except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in
one (1) or more tranches at a public or private sale, at any of the
Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future
delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem
commercially reasonable.  In the event
that the Administrative Agent elects to sell the Collateral or any part
thereof, bids will be accepted for a period of no less than thirty (30) days
and the Collateral shall be sold to the highest bidder, provided
that the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, shall have received
adequate assurances of such bidder’s ability to pay the purchase price.  The Borrower agrees that, to the extent
notice of sale shall be required by law, at least thirty (30) days’ notice to
the Borrower 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.  The Administrative Agent shall not be
obligated to make any sale of the Collateral regardless of notice of sale
having been given.  The Administrative
Agent 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.  All cash Proceeds received by the
Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other
realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral (after payment of any amounts
incurred in connection with such sale) shall be deposited into the Collection
Account and to be applied pursuant to the settlement procedures set forth in Section 2.6.

included in the Collateral, excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts to the
extent resulting from gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the

Affiliate of the Borrower):

 

(i)            any

made or deemed made or delivered;

 

(ii)           the
failure by the Borrower or the Servicer to comply with any term, provision or

clear of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) whether existing at the time of
the Loan or at any time thereafter (including, without limitation, as the
result of the failure to file, or any delay in filing, financing statements,
continuation statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC
of any applicable jurisdiction or other Applicable Law with respect to any
Collateral);

 

(iv)          the
failure to maintain, as of the close of business on each Measurement Date prior
to the Termination Date, an amount of Outstanding Loan Balance that is less
than or equal to the Maximum Outstanding Loan Amount on such Business Day;

 

(v)           any
dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than the discharge in bankruptcy of
any Obligor) of any Obligor to the payment with respect to any Collateral
(including, without limitation, a defense based on the Collateral not being a
legal, valid and

 

83

 

binding obligation of such
Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other
claim related to such Collateral;

 

(vi)          any
failure of the Borrower or the Servicer to perform its duties under the
Transaction Documents with respect to any Collateral;

amounts held in a Lockbox Account or the Concentration Account pursuant to the
instructions of the Servicer or the Administrative Agent (to the extent such
Person is entitled to give such instructions in accordance with the terms
hereof) whether by reason of the exercise of set-off rights or otherwise;

 

(viii)        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 the Borrower to qualify to do business or file any notice or
business activity report or any similar report;

 

(ix)           any
action taken by the Borrower or the Servicer in the enforcement or collection
of any Collateral;

 

(x)            any
claim, suit or action of any kind arising out of or in connection with any
Environmental Laws, including any vicarious liability;

 

(xi)           the
failure by the Borrower or the Servicer to pay when due any Taxes for which
such Person is liable, including without limitation, sales, excise or personal
property taxes payable in connection with the Collateral;

 

(xii)          any
repayment by a Secured Party of any amount previously distributed in reduction
of Outstanding Loan Balance or payment of Interest or any other amount due
hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, in each case which amount
such Secured Party believes in good faith is required to be repaid;

 

(xiii)         except
for as provided in this Agreement, the commingling of Collections by the
Borrower or the Servicer on the Collateral at any time with other funds;

 

(xiv)        any

related to the acts of the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties, the
Backup Servicer or the Collateral Custodian);

 

(xv)         the
use of the proceeds of the Loan in a manner other than as provided in this

amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 11.1
shall be paid by the Borrower to the Indemnified Party on the Payment Date
following such Person’s written demand therefor to the Borrower setting forth
the basis for such Indemnified Amounts in reasonable detail (such written
demand to be delivered not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the
applicable Payment Date).

 

84

 

(c)           If for any reason the indemnification
provided above in this Section 11.1 is unavailable to the
Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless,
then the Borrower 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 Borrower on the other hand but also
the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations.

 

(d)           The obligations of the Borrower under
this Section 11.1 shall survive the resignation or removal of the
Administrative Agent, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, Successor Servicer or
the Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.

 

(e)           Notwithstanding the above provisions
of this Section 11.1, nothing in this Section shall be
construed to require the Borrower to provide any indemnification under this Agreement
or the other Transaction Documents for any damages, losses, claims, liabilities
and related costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements arising out of or in connection with credit losses with respect
to any of the Receivables or any Related Security or the diminution in market
value of the Collateral.

 

(f)            If any Indemnified Party receives
any Indemnified Amount from the Borrower and is subsequently reimbursed for
such amounts by another party, such Indemnified Party hereby agrees to promptly
reimburse the Borrower for such reimbursed amounts.

 

Section 11.2.                                   Indemnities
by the Servicer.

 

(a)           Without limiting any other rights
that any such Person may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Servicer
hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party, forthwith on demand, from
and against any and all Indemnified Amounts awarded against or incurred by any
such Indemnified Party by reason of any acts or omissions of the Servicer
(other than with respect to disputes among Indemnified Parties), including, but
not limited to (i) any representation or warranty made by the Servicer
under or in connection with any Transaction Document, any Servicing Report,
Servicer’s Certificate or any other information or report delivered by or on
behalf of the Servicer pursuant hereto, which shall have been false, incorrect
or misleading in any respect when made or deemed made, (ii) the failure by
the Servicer to comply with any Applicable Law, (iii) the failure of the
Servicer to comply with its covenants under this Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents, or (iv) any litigation, proceedings or
investigation against the Servicer (other than as related to acts of bad faith,
breach of contract, negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative
Agent, the Secured Parties or the Collateral Custodian).

 

(b)           Any amounts subject to the
indemnification provisions of this Section 11.2 shall be paid by
the Servicer to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) Business Days
following such Person’s written demand (setting forth the basis for such
Indemnified Amounts in reasonable detail) therefor to the Servicer.

 

85

 

(c)           The obligations of the Servicer under
this Section 11.2 shall survive the resignation or removal of the
Administrative Agent, the Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer or the
Collateral Custodian and the termination of this Agreement.

Servicer pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall not be payable from
the Collateral.

 

(e)           Notwithstanding the above provisions
of this Section 11.1, nothing in this Section shall be
construed to require the Servicer to provide any indemnification under this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents for any damages, losses, claims,
liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements arising out of or in connection with credit losses with
respect to any of the Receivables or any Related Security or the diminution in
market value of the Collateral.

 

(f)            If any Indemnified Party receives
any Indemnified Amount from the Servicer and is subsequently reimbursed for
such amounts by another party, such Indemnified Party hereby agrees to promptly
reimburse the Servicer for such reimbursed amounts.

 

ARTICLE XII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

 

Section 12.1.                                   The
Administrative Agent.

 

(a)           Appointment.  Each Secured Party hereby appoints and
authorizes the Administrative Agent as its agent and bailee for purposes of
perfection pursuant to the applicable UCC and hereby further authorizes the
Administrative Agent to appoint additional agents and bailees to act on its
behalf and for the benefit of each Secured Party.  Each Secured Party further authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise
such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together
with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  In furtherance, and without limiting the
generality, of the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby appoints the
Administrative Agent as its agent to execute and deliver all further
instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Administrative Agent
may deem necessary or appropriate or that a Secured Party may reasonably
request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security
interests granted by the Borrower hereunder, or to enable any of them to
exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including,
without limitation, the execution by the Administrative Agent as secured
party/assignee of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments
thereto or assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Collateral now
existing or hereafter arising, and such other instruments or notices, as may be
necessary or appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove.  The Lenders may direct the Administrative
Agent to take any such incidental action hereunder.  With respect to other actions which are
incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent
hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any such
incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from
acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon
the direction of the Required Lenders; provided that the Administrative Agent shall
not be required to take any 

 

86

 

action hereunder if the taking
of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent,
shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provision of
this Agreement or shall expose the Administrative Agent to liability hereunder
or otherwise.  In the event the
Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to the foregoing
provisions and the Administrative Agent does not receive a consent (either
positive or negative) from such Person within ten Business Days of such
Person’s receipt of such request, then such Lender shall be deemed to have
declined to consent to the relevant action.

 

(b)           Standard of Care.  The Administrative Agent shall exercise such
rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person’s own affairs.

 

(c)           Administrative Agent’s Reliance,
Etc.  With respect to the Lenders,
neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or
employees shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this
Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their
own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent:  (i) may
consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower or the
Servicer), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and
shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith
by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes
no warranty or representation and shall not be responsible to any Lender for
any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with
this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to any Lender to ascertain
or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms,
covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction
Documents on the part of the Borrower or the Servicer or to inspect the
property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or the Servicer; (iv) shall
not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of the
other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished
pursuant hereto or thereto; and (v) shall incur no liability to any Lender
under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents
by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate
or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to be
genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

 

(d)           Credit Decision with Respect to
the Administrative Agent.  Each
Secured Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon
the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and
based upon such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents to which it is a party. 
Each Secured Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative
Agent’s Affiliates, and based on such documents and information as it shall
deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to
which it is a party.

 

(e)           Indemnification of the
Administrative Agent.  Each Lender
agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by
the Borrower or the initial 

 

87

 

Servicer), ratably in
accordance with its Pro Rata Share from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction
Documents, or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder
or thereunder; provided that the Lenders shall
not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to
reimburse the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata
Share, promptly upon demand for any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel
fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the
administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through
negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of
rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents, to the extent that such expenses are incurred in the interests of or
otherwise in respect of the Lenders hereunder and/or thereunder and to the
extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the
Borrower or the Servicer.

 

(f)            Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign at any
time, effective upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor
Administrative Agent as provided below, by giving at least ten (10) Business
Days written notice thereof to each Lender and the Borrower and may be removed
at any time with cause by the Lenders acting jointly.  Upon any such resignation or removal, the Lenders
acting jointly shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent reasonably
acceptable to the Borrower.  Each Lender
agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the
appointment of a successor Administrative Agent.  If no such successor Administrative Agent
shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within
30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of
resignation or the removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent which successor Administrative Agent shall be either (i) a
commercial bank or other financial institution organized under the laws of the
United States or of any state thereof and have a combined capital and surplus
of at least $250,000,000 or (ii) an Affiliate of such a bank or financial
institution.  Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative
Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and
become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s
resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of
this Article XII shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent
under this Agreement.

 

(g)           Payments by the Administrative
Agent.  Unless specifically allocated
to a specific Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all amounts
received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall be paid by
the Administrative Agent to the Lenders in accordance with their related Pro
Rata Shares, on the Business Day received by the Administrative Agent, unless
such amounts are received after 12:00 noon on such Business Day, in which case
the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts
to 

 

88

 

each Lender on such Business
Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to such Lenders not later than the
following Business Day.

Against Certain Parties.

 

(a)           No recourse under or with respect to
any obligation, covenant or agreement of any party hereto as contained in this
Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document entered into by it
pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall be had against any

of them, for breaches by any party hereto of any such obligations, covenants or
agreements, which liability may arise either at common law or at equity, by
statute or constitution, or otherwise, is hereby expressly waived as a
condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative

Borrower or the initial Servicer, to the extent of any loss, cost or expense
incurred in whole or in part from any such Person’s (i) willful

Borrower.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding any contrary
provision set forth herein, no claim may be made by any party hereto against
any other party hereto or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers,
employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages in respect to any claim for breach of contract or any other
theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection
therewith; and each of the parties hereto hereby waives, releases, and agrees
not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and
whether or not known or suspected.

 

(c)           No obligation or liability to any

Section 13.12.                            Protection
of Right, Title and Interest in the Collateral; Further Action Evidencing Loans.

 

(a)           The Servicer shall cooperate with the
Administrative Agent with respect to all financing statements and continuation
statements and any other necessary documents covering the right, title and
interest of the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, to the
Collateral to be promptly recorded, registered and filed, and at all times to
be kept recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places
as may be required by law fully to preserve and protect the first priority
security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) of the Administrative Agent, as
agent the Secured Parties, hereunder to all property comprising the
Collateral.  The Servicer shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Custodian file-stamped copies
of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or filed as 

 

92

 

provided above and in the
possession of the Servicer, as soon as available following such recording,
registration or filing.  The Borrower
shall cooperate fully with the Servicer in connection with the obligations set
forth above and will execute any and all documents reasonably required to
fulfill the intent of this Section 13.12(a).

 

(b)           The Borrower agrees that from time to
time, at its expense, it will promptly authorize, execute and deliver all
instruments and documents, and take all actions, that the Administrative Agent
may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Loan
hereunder and the first priority perfected security interest (subject to
Permitted Liens) granted in the Collateral, or to enable the Administrative
Agent or the Secured Parties to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies
hereunder or under any other Transaction Document.

 

(c)           If the Borrower or the Servicer fails
to perform any of its obligations hereunder with respect to the maintenance of
the Administrative Agent’s first priority perfected security interest in the
Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens), the Administrative Agent or any
Secured Party may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance
of, such obligation; and the Administrative Agent’s or such Secured Party’s
costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the
Borrower.  If the Borrower or the
Servicer fails to perform any of its other obligations hereunder for 10 days
following receipt of notice from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent or
any Secured Party may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause
performance of, such obligation; and the Administrative Agent’s or such Secured
Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by
the Borrower or the initial Servicer, as applicable.  The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the
Administrative Agent and appoints the Administrative Agent as its
attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of the Borrower (i) to execute on behalf
of the Borrower as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or
desirable in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to
maintain the perfection and priority 
(subject to Permitted Liens) of the interest of the Secured Parties in
the Collateral, including those that describe the Collateral as “all assets,”
or words of similar effect, and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or
other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to
the Collateral as a financing statement in such offices as the Administrative
Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to
maintain the perfection and priority (subject to Permitted Liens) of the
interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral.  This appointment is coupled with an interest
and is irrevocable.

 

Section 13.13.                            Confidentiality.

 

(a)           Each of the Secured Parties, the
Servicer, the Collateral Custodian, the Backup Servicer and the Borrower shall
maintain and shall cause each of its employees and officers to maintain the
confidentiality of the Agreement and all information with respect to the other
parties, including all information regarding the business of the other parties
obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and
execution of the transactions contemplated herein, except that each such party
and its directors, officers and employees may (i) disclose such
information to its external accountants, attorneys, investors, potential
investors, credit enhancers and the agents and advisors of such Persons (“Excepted
Persons”); provided that each Excepted Person shall be
notified of the confidentiality restrictions hereof and shall, as a condition
to any such disclosure, agree for the benefit of the parties hereto that such 

 

93

 

information shall be used
solely in connection with such Excepted Person’s evaluation of, or relationship
with, the Borrower, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer and Collateral Custodian
and their affiliates, (ii) disclose the existence of the Agreement, but
not the financial terms thereof, (iii) disclose such information as is
required by Applicable Law and (iv) disclose the Agreement and such
information in any suit, action, proceeding or investigation (whether in law or
in equity or pursuant to arbitration) involving any of the Transaction
Documents for the purpose of defending itself, reducing its liability, or
protecting or exercising any of its claims, rights, remedies, or interests
under or in connection with any of the Transaction Documents.  It is understood that the financial terms
that may not be disclosed except in compliance with this Section 13.13(a) include,
without limitation, all fees and other pricing terms, and all Events of
Default, Servicer Defaults, and the priority of payment provisions herein.  If any Person discloses any confidential
information with respect to another party pursuant to this Section 13.13(a),
it shall provide prompt notice thereof to such other party with respect to
which such confidential information related.

 

(b)           Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
each of the parties hereto hereby consents to the disclosure of any nonpublic
information with respect to it (i) to the Collateral Custodian, the Backup
Servicer or the Secured Parties by each other, (ii) by the Collateral
Custodian, the Backup Servicer and the Secured Parties to any prospective or
actual assignee or participant of any of them, or (iii) by the Secured
Parties to any Rating Agency, any provider of a surety, guaranty or credit
enhancement to any Lender or any Person providing financing to, or holding
equity interests in, any Lender, as applicable, and to any officers, directors,
employees, outside accountants, advisors and attorneys of any of the foregoing,
provided each such Person in the case of subclauses (ii) and (iii) is
informed of the confidential nature of such information.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit (i) disclosure
of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known (other than
through the violation of this Agreement), (ii) disclosure of any and all
information (A) if required to do so by any applicable statute, law, rule or
regulation, (B) to any government agency or regulatory body having or
claiming authority to regulate or oversee the disclosing entity or its
affiliates, or (C) pursuant to any subpoena, civil investigative demand or
similar demand or request of any court, regulatory authority, arbitrator or
arbitration to which the disclosing entity or an officer, director, employer,
shareholder or affiliate of any of the foregoing is a party (so long as the
disclosing Person provides prompt notice thereof to the applicable party with
respect to which such information relates), or (iii) any other disclosure
authorized by any Borrower or the Servicer in the case of information with
respect to it.

 

Section 13.14.                            Execution
in Counterparts; Severability; Integration.

 

This Agreement
may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto
in separate counterparts (including by facsimile), each of which when so
executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together
shall constitute one and the same agreement. 
In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such
provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.  This
Agreement and any agreements or letters 

 

94

 

(including fee letters)
executed in connection herewith contain the final and complete integration of
all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior oral or written
understandings.

 

Section 13.15.                            Waiver
of Setoff.

 

Each of the
parties hereto hereby waives any right of setoff it may have or to which it may
be entitled under this Agreement from time to time against any Lender or its
assets.

 

Section 13.16.                            Assignments
by the Lenders.

 

With the prior
written consent of the Borrower (which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld), any Lender may at any time assign, or grant a security interest or
sell a participation interest in, its rights in the Loan (or portion thereof)
to any Person; provided that (a) no such
consent of the Borrower shall be required during the existence of an Event of
Default, (b) in the case of an assignment of the Loan with respect to such
Lender, the assignee shall execute and deliver to the Borrower, the Servicer
and the Administrative Agent a Joinder Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit I
hereto, and (c) no Lender shall need prior consent to at any time assign,
or grant a security interest or sell a participation interest in, the Loan (or
portion thereof) to an Affiliate or an Approved Fund.  The parties to any such assignment or sale of
a participation interest by a Lender shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in its books and
records, such agreement or document as may be satisfactory to such parties and
the Administrative Agent.  Neither the
Borrower nor the Servicer shall assign or delegate, or grant any interest in,
any of its rights, obligations or duties under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent.
