(c) Principal Receivables in each Initial Account that exist on the Closing Date, and the related Finance Charge Receivables and other Contributed Assets, are contributed by FIA and received by BACCS on the Closing Date. Principal Receivables in each Initial Account that arise after the Closing Date, and the related Finance Charge Receivables and other Purchased Assets, are sold by FIA and purchased by BACCS on the date on which those Principal Receivables arise.

(e) The parties hereto intend that the conveyance of FIA’s right, title and interest in and to the Conveyed Assets shall constitute an absolute contribution and sale, conveying good title free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or rights of others, from FIA to BACCS. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the arrangements with respect to the Conveyed Assets shall constitute a contribution of and purchase and sale of such Conveyed Assets and not a loan, including for accounting purposes. In the event, however, that if it were to be determined that the transactions evidenced hereby constitute a loan and not a contribution, purchase and sale, it is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and that FIA shall be deemed to have granted, and does hereby grant to BACCS a first priority perfected security interest in all of FIA’s right, title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to, and under the Conveyed Assets to secure the obligations of FIA hereunder.

All acts required of FIA in this paragraph must be taken at FIA’s own expense.

(g) On or prior to the Closing Date, FIA must deliver to BACCS the initial Account Schedule. On or prior to the tenth Business Day in each Monthly Period, FIA will give BACCS written notice of the Addition Date applicable to the Additional Accounts with respect to the prior Monthly Period, if any, the Receivables of which are being sold to BACCS on such Addition Date. Promptly after a request from BACCS, and at least once every two months regardless of whether a request is made by BACCS, FIA must deliver to BACCS an updated Account Schedule that identifies all Accounts (including Additional Accounts). All acts required of FIA in this paragraph must be taken at FIA’s own expense.
