(b) On the date of each such purchase of a Receivable Interest, CAFCO or the Banks, as the case may be, shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make available to the Seller in same day funds an amount equal to the initial Capital of such Receivable Interest, at the account set forth in the Drawdown Notice for such purchase; provided , however , if such purchase is being made by the Banks following the designation by the Agent of a Termination Date for a Receivable Interest owned by an Investor pursuant to clause (i)(a) of the definition of Termination Date and any Capital of such Receivable Interest is outstanding on such date of purchase, the Seller hereby directs the Banks to pay the proceeds of such purchase (to the extent of the outstanding Capital and accrued Yield on such Receivable Interest of the Investor) to the Agent’s Account, for application to the reduction of the outstanding Capital and accrued Yield on such Receivable Interest of the Investor; provided , further , however , that during the Term Period for any Bank, after receipt by the Agent of the instruction from such Bank referred to in the proviso to the last sentence of Section 2.02(a) and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Agent shall make available to the Seller at the account set forth in the Drawdown Notice such Bank’s ratable share of such purchase, solely out of the funds available therefor in the Collateral Advance Account, and upon such deposit such Bank will be deemed to have paid to the Seller such Bank’s ratable share of such Bank’s amount of the Capital of the Receivable Interest being acquired for all purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Effective on the date of each purchase pursuant to this Section 2.02 and each reinvestment pursuant to Section 2.04, the Seller hereby sells and assigns to the Agent, for the benefit of the parties making such purchase, an undivided percentage ownership interest, to the extent of the Receivable Interest then being purchased, in each Pool Receivable then existing and in the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto.

(d) In addition to the transfer of ownership to Receivable Interests stipulated above, the Seller, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set out in this Agreement, hereby assigns by way of a German law assignment ( Abtretung ) within the meaning of Section 398 German Civil Code ( Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch ) to the Agent for the benefit of CAFCO Receivable Interests in all Receivables (whether now existing or hereafter arising) acquired by the Seller pursuant to the Originator Purchase Agreement and owed by an Obligor located in Germany (the “ German Obligor Receivables ”). The Agent accepts such assignment. The assignment of the Receivable Interests shall include all ancillary rights, priority rights as well as all other rights attached to the German Obligor Receivables

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) CAFCO shall not make purchases under this Section 2.02 during the Term Period for any Bank in an amount which would exceed the Purchase Limit minus the aggregate Bank Commitments of the Term-Out Banks, and (ii) a Bank shall not be obligated to make purchases under this Section 2.02 at any time in an amount which would exceed such Bank’s Bank Commitment less such Bank’s ratable share of the aggregate outstanding Capital held by CAFCO (whether or not any portion thereof has been assigned under the Asset Purchase Agreement), after giving effect to any reductions of the Capital held by CAFCO to be made on the date of such purchase (whether from the distribution of Collections or from the proceeds of purchases by the Banks). Each Bank’s obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Bank to make available to the Seller any funds in connection with any purchase shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date of such purchase, and no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make funds available in connection with any purchase.

SECTION 2.03. Receivable Interest Computation . Each Receivable Interest shall be initially computed on its date of purchase. Thereafter until the Termination Date for such Receivable Interest, such Receivable Interest shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) on each day other than a Liquidation Day. Any Receivable Interest, as computed (or deemed recomputed) as of the day immediately preceding the Termination Date for such Receivable Interest, shall thereafter remain constant. Such Receivable Interest shall become zero when Capital thereof and Yield thereon shall have been paid in full, and all Fees and other amounts owed by the Seller hereunder to the Investors, the Banks or the Agent are paid and the Collection Agent shall have received the accrued Collection Agent Fee thereon.

SECTION 2.04. Settlement Procedures . (a)  Collection of the Pool Receivables shall be administered by a Collection Agent, in accordance with the terms of Article VI of this Agreement. The Seller shall provide to the Collection Agent (if other than the Seller) on a timely basis all information needed for such administration, including notice of the occurrence of any Liquidation Day and current computations of each Receivable Interest.

(b) So long as a BB Downgrade Event (other than the 2005 Downgrade Event and the 2006 Downgrade Events) shall not have occurred the Collection Agent shall, on each day on which Collections of Pool Receivables are received by it:

(i) with respect to each Receivable Interest, set aside and hold in trust (and, at the request of the Agent, segregate) for the Investors or the Banks that hold such Receivable Interest, out of the percentage of such Collections represented by such Receivable Interest, an amount equal to the Yield, Fees and Collection Agent Fee (and during the Term Period, an amount equal to the Excess Interest in respect of all Cash Secured Advances) accrued through such day for such Receivable Interest and not previously set aside;

(ii) with respect to each Receivable Interest, if such day is not a Liquidation Day for such Receivable Interest, reinvest with the Seller on behalf of the Investors or the Banks that hold such Receivable Interest the percentage of such Collections represented by such Receivable Interest, to the extent representing a return of Capital, by recomputation of such Receivable Interest pursuant to Section 2.03;

(iii) if such day is a Liquidation Day for any one or more Receivable Interests, set aside and hold in trust (and, at the request of the Agent, segregate) for the Investors or the Banks that hold such Receivable Interests (x) if such day is a Liquidation Day for less than all of the Receivable Interests, the percentage of such Collections represented by such Receivable Interests, and (y) if such day is a Liquidation Day for all of the Receivable Interests, all of the remaining Collections (but not in excess of the Capital of such Receivable Interests); provided that if amounts are set aside and held in trust on any Liquidation Day occurring prior to the Termination Date, and thereafter prior to the Settlement Date for such Fixed Period the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 are satisfied or waived by the Agent, such previously set aside amounts shall, to the extent representing a return of Capital, be reinvested in accordance with the preceding subsection (ii) on the day of such subsequent satisfaction or waiver of conditions; and

(iv) during such times as amounts are required to be reinvested in accordance with the foregoing subsection (ii) or the proviso to subsection (iii), release to the Seller for its own account any Collections in excess both of such amounts and of the amounts that are required to be set aside pursuant to subsection (i) above.

(c) If a BB Downgrade Event (other than the 2005 Downgrade Event and the 2006 Downgrade Events) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collection Agent shall comply with the following:

(i) If the Collection Agent shall fail to deliver the Daily Report on any Deposit Date during the Revolving Period, the Collection Agent shall not be permitted to withdraw any amounts from the Lock-Box Accounts on such date or any date thereafter unless and until the Collection Agent shall be in compliance with Section 6.02(h) (but subject to the right of the Agent to prohibit withdrawals by the Collection Agent from the Lock-Box Accounts in accordance with the Lock-Box Agreements);

(ii) On the first Business Day following each Deposit Date during the Revolving Period, following delivery of the Daily Report to the Agent, if the Daily Report for such date shows that a Cure Period shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collection Agent shall, in the following order:

  (C)   withdraw from the Lock-Box Accounts and from Collections of Pool Receivables which the Collection Agent received on such Deposit Date and release to the Seller the remainder of Purchaser Collections, in each instance to the extent representing a return of Capital, to be reinvested with the Seller in Receivable Interests; provided that, if immediately following any such reinvestment such Deposit Date would be a Pool Non-compliance Date, the Collection Agent shall retain all such remaining Collections in (or, to the extent the Collection Agent has received any such Collections, redeposit such Collections into) the Lock-Box Accounts (and deposit the other such remaining Collections received by it into the Lock-Box Accounts) to be applied pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(iii)(C); and
  (D)   remit the Seller Collections to the Seller.

(iii) On the first Business Day following each Deposit Date during the Revolving Period, following delivery of the Daily Report to the Agent, if the Daily Report for such date shows that a Cure Period shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collection Agent shall, in the following order:

  (E)   remit the Seller Collections to the Seller.

(New York City time), remit to the Agent’s Account all Collections in the Lock-Box Accounts and all Collections of Pool Receivables which the Collection Agent received on such Deposit Date.

(d) The Collection Agent shall deposit into the Agent’s Account, on the Settlement Date for each Receivable Interest, (x) prior to the occurrence of a Liquidation Day, Collections held for the Investors or the Banks that relate to such Receivable Interest pursuant to Sections 2.04(b), 2.04(c)(ii)(B) or 2.04(c)(iii)(B) and (y) following the occurrence of a Liquidation Day, all Collections. The Collection Agent shall pay to itself on each Settlement Date which is not a Liquidation Day Collections set aside with respect to each Receivable Interest on account of accrued Collection Agent Fee. On any Business Day on which funds are on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account, the Collection Agent (i) shall, upon written notice from the Agent, and may (if the funds in the Cash Collateral Account exceed $10,000,000), upon written notice to the Agent, remit such funds from the Cash Collateral Account to the Agent’s Account or (ii) may, following delivery of the Daily Report to the Agent, withdraw from the Cash Collateral Account and remit to the Seller all or a portion of the funds in the Cash Collateral Account; provided that such Daily Report shall state that, after taking account of the proposed withdrawal, the Net Receivables Pool Balance on such day will be equal to or greater than the Required Net Receivables Pool Balance, and such Daily Report shall set forth the calculation supporting such statement.

(i) if such distribution occurs on a day that is not a Liquidation Day, first to the Investors, the Banks and, during any Term-Out Period, the Term-Out Banks that hold the relevant Receivable Interest and to the Agent in ratable payment in full of all accrued Yield and Fees and remaining unpaid accrued interest in respect of all Cash Secured Advances (pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.12); provided , that if such distribution related to Collections remitted from the Cash Collateral Account, such distribution shall be paid to the Investors and the Banks that hold the Receivable Interest in respect thereof, in reduction of Capital.

(ii) if such distribution occurs on a Liquidation Day, first to the Investors or the Banks and/or Term-Out Banks that hold the relevant Receivable Interest and to the Agent in payment in full of all accrued Yield and Fees and interest in respect of all Cash Secured Advances, second to such Investors or Banks in reduction to zero of all Capital, third to the Term-Out Banks in reduction to zero of the principal amount of all Cash Secured Advances remaining after application of the Term-Out Bank Collateral in accordance with Section 2.14(d), and fourth to the Investors, Banks, Term-Out Banks or the Agent in payment of any other amounts owed by the Seller hereunder, and fourth to the Collection Agent in payment in full of all accrued Collection Agent Fee.

After the Capital, Yield, Fees and Collection Agent Fee with respect to a Receivable Interest, and any other amounts payable by the Seller to the Investors, the Banks or the Agent hereunder, have been paid in full, all additional Collections with respect to such Receivable Interest shall be paid to the Seller for its own account.

(f) For the purposes of this Section 2.04:

(i) if on any day the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected or returned merchandise or services, or any cash discount, discount for quick payment or other adjustment made by the Seller or an Originator, or any setoff, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such reduction or adjustment;

(ii) if on any day any of the representations or warranties contained in Section 4.01(h) is no longer true with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in full;

(iv) if and to the extent the Agent, the Investors or the Banks shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor any amount received on its behalf hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, the Agent, the Investors or the Banks, as the case may be, shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof.

SECTION 2.05. Fees . (a) Each Investor and Bank shall pay to the Collection Agent a fee (the “ Collection Agent Fee ”) of 0.50% per annum on the average daily Capital of each Receivable Interest owned by such Investor or Bank, from the date of purchase of such Receivable Interest until the later of the Termination Date for such Receivable Interest or the date on which such Capital is reduced to zero, payable on the Settlement Date for such Receivable Interest. Upon three Business Days’ notice to the Agent, the Collection Agent (if not Ferro, the Seller or its designee or an Affiliate of the Seller) may elect to be paid, as such fee, another percentage per annum on the average daily Capital of such Receivable Interest, but in no event in excess for all Receivable Interests relating to a single Receivables Pool of 110% of the reasonable costs and expenses of the Collection Agent in administering and collecting the Receivables in such Receivables Pool. The Collection Agent Fee shall be payable only from Collections pursuant to, and subject to the priority of payment set forth in, Section 2.04. So long as Ferro is acting as the Collection Agent hereunder, amounts paid as the Collection Agent Fee pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the obligation of the Seller to pay the “Collection Agent Fee” pursuant to Section 6.03 of each of the Purchase Agreement and the Originator Purchase Agreement, provided that such obligation of the Seller shall in no event be reduced below zero.
