If, following such reduction of the Maximum Net Investment, the Net Investment is greater than the Maximum Net Investment, the Seller agrees to repurchase from the Administrative Agent sufficient Eligible Loans that upon the payment of the Repurchase Price therefor to the Administrative Agent for deposit to the Collateral Account for application in reduction of the Net Investment, the Adjusted Net Investment will be less than the Maximum Net Investment. Such payment or funding shall occur on the date of termination of the APA Purchaser’s Purchase Commitment.

(c)     The Seller hereby agrees, with respect to each Eligible Loan transferred to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Owners) hereunder, to repurchase such Eligible Loan from the Administrative Agent not later than 364 days following the transfer thereof to the Administrative Agent at a price equal to the Repurchase Price of such Eligible Loan. The Seller also agrees to repurchase (i) each Defaulted Loan within five (5) Business Days of such Eligible Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan, (ii) each Eligible Loan (other than a Defaulted Loan or Delinquent Loan) that ceases to satisfy the Eligibility Criteria within five (5) Business Days of such failure, and (iii) all Eligible Loans on or before the termination of the Revolving Asset Purchase Agreement or upon the delivery of a Notice of Termination pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof, in each case for an amount equal to the Repurchase Price thereof.

The subject Eligible Loans shall be repurchased, reassigned and reconveyed to the Seller in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18 hereof.

(d)     If on any day the Net Investment is greater than the Maximum Net Investment then the Seller shall immediately repurchase from the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Owners) at the respective Repurchase Prices thereof sufficient Eligible Loans so that, when the aggregate Repurchase Price is deposited into the Collateral Account, the Adjusted Net Investment will be less than or equal to the Maximum Net Investment. The aggregate Repurchase Price shall be deposited to the Collateral Account for application in reduction of the Net Investment. The subject Eligible Loans shall be repurchased, reassigned and reconveyed to the Seller in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18 hereof.

Section 2.18 Repurchase Procedures.

(a)     With respect to each repurchase of an Eligible Loan by the Seller or the Servicer (each, a “Repurchaser”) hereunder, the Repurchaser shall provide a notice (a “Repurchase Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Agent not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day prior to the execution of a Repurchase Supplement of its intention to effect a repurchase of Eligible Loans.
