(c) Payment of Purchase Price .

 

(i) The Purchase Price for each Purchase of Assets and Related Property that are in existence on the Initial Cutoff Date shall be payable in full by the Purchaser to the Originator on the Initial Purchase Date, and shall be paid to the Originator in the following manner:

 

(A) first , by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds made available to the Purchaser in connection with a sale of Asset Interests under the Purchase Agreement or other cash on hand; and

 

(B) second , by accepting such Assets and Related Property (or the relevant portion thereof) as a capital contribution to the Purchaser’s capital in an amount equal to the remaining unpaid balance of such Purchase Price.

 

(ii) Each Asset, and the Related Property with respect thereto, coming into existence or acquired after the Initial Cutoff Date shall be sold or contributed to the Purchaser on the Business Day immediately following the day such Asset was originated or acquired by the Originator and the Purchase Price for such Asset and Related Property shall be due and owing in full by the Purchaser to the Originator on such Business Day (except that the Purchaser may, with respect to any such Purchase Price, offset against such Purchase Price any amounts owed by the Originator to the Purchaser hereunder and which have become due but remain unpaid) and shall be paid to the Originator in the following manner:

calendar week. Although such reconciliation shall be effected on Weekly Settlement Dates, any contribution of capital by the Originator to Purchaser made pursuant to Section 2.02(c) shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be effective as of the date that the Purchase Price is paid.

 

(e) Capital Contributions . Each contribution of an Asset and Related Property by the Originator to the Purchaser shall be deemed to be a Purchase of such Asset and Related Property by the Purchaser for all purposes of this Agreement. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that the Originator shall have no obligation to make further capital contributions to the Purchaser, in respect of the Originator’s equity interest in the Purchaser or otherwise, in order to provide funds to pay the Purchase Price to the Originator under this Agreement or for any other reason.

 

(f) Ownership of Assets and Related Property . On each Purchase Date, after giving effect to the Purchase on such date, the Purchaser shall own all Assets originated or acquired by the Originator as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior thereto (including Assets which have been previously sold to the Purchaser hereunder) and all other Related Property with respect thereto. Each sale of Assets and Related Property hereunder is made without recourse; provided, however , that (i) the Originator shall be liable to the Purchaser for all representations, warranties and covenants made by the Originator hereunder and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to constitute an assumption by the Purchaser or its assignee thereof of the Originator or other Person arising in connection with the Transferred Assets or Related Property or any other obligations or liabilities of the Originator.

 

(g) Intention is an Irrevocable Transfer; Grant of Security Interest . It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Purchase to be made hereunder shall be absolute and irrevocable and will provide the Purchaser with the full risks and benefits of ownership of the Transferred Assets and Related Property so purchased (such that the Transferred Assets and Related Property would not constitute property of the Originator’s estate in the event of the Originator’s bankruptcy or receivership) and shall constitute a “sale” of “payment intangibles” as such terms are used in Article 9 of the UCC of the State of New York, to the extent applicable, and not a loan secured by such Transferred Assets and Related Property. In the event that, contrary to the mutual intent of the Originator and the Purchaser, any Purchase of Transferred Assets and Related Property hereunder is not characterized as a sale but rather as a collateral transfer for security (or the transactions contemplated hereby are characterized as a financing transaction), it is the intent of the parties hereto that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law and that such Purchase shall be deemed to be a secured financing, secured by a security interest in all of the Originator’s right, title and interest now or hereafter existing and hereafter arising in, to and under all Transferred Assets and Related Property and all Proceeds thereof (collectively, the “ Originator Collateral ”). In addition to and not in limitation of any other rights acquired by the Purchaser hereunder, the Originator hereby grants to the Purchaser a security interest in all of the Originator’s right, title and interest now or hereafter existing in, to and under the Originator Collateral to secure the repayment of all amounts due and owing by the Originator to the Purchaser hereunder with accrued interest thereon, if applicable, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent (such amounts the “ Secured Obligations ”).

SECTION 2.03. Collections .

 

(a) In the event that the Originator believes that funds which are not Collections of Transferred Assets have been deposited into an account of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee, the Originator shall notify the Servicer who shall so advise the Purchaser and, on the Business Day following such identification, the Purchaser shall remit, or shall cause to be remitted, all funds so deposited which are identified to the Purchaser’s satisfaction to the Originator.

 

(b) If on any day any Transferred Asset becomes (in whole or in part) a Diluted Asset, the Originator shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Transferred Asset in the amount of such Diluted Asset. The Originator shall pay to the Purchaser on or prior to the next Business Day all amounts deemed to have been received pursuant to this subsection.

 

(c) Upon discovery by the Originator or the Purchaser of any breach of the representation and warranty made in Section 3.01(j) with respect to any Transferred Asset, the party discovering the same shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties hereto. The Originator shall, on the Business Day following such notice, repurchase the affected Transferred Asset, at the option of the Originator, either (i) by making a cash payment to the Purchaser in an amount equal to the Repurchase Price (defined below), or (ii) so long as no “Event of Termination” under, and as defined in, the Purchase Agreement has occurred, and no Asset Interest Excess exists under (and as defined in) the Purchase Agreement, by transferring ownership of a new Eligible Asset to the Purchaser on such Business Day having an Outstanding Balance at least equal to the Repurchase Price. The “ Repurchase Price ” for any Transferred Asset to be repurchased under this Section 2.03(c) shall equal the Purchase Price paid for such Asset by the Purchaser minus Collections received in respect thereof minus any payments or offsets made by the Originator to the Purchaser in respect of Deemed Collections relating to such Transferred Asset. Simultaneously upon the payment to the Purchaser, or transfer to the Purchaser of Eligible Assets in respect of, the Repurchase Price for any such repurchased Transferred Asset, such Transferred Asset and all Related Property relating solely to such Transferred Asset shall automatically be reconveyed by the Purchaser to the Originator without any further action by the Purchaser or any other Person, and the Purchaser shall have no further rights with respect thereto. Each party hereto shall, at the Originator’s expense, take any action the other party may reasonably request to further evidence such reconveyance. The Originator�
